Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 My second supplementary: Without government appointments no one can be employed in any hospital; yet they were engaged as volunteers at Jaffna Teaching Hospital. The records of their period of service have been destroyed; they are being victimized individually. They worked but were unpaid. Can you pay them for the 36 months through the welfare society?
