The process of giving an allowance of Rs. 5,000 to selected categories including Samurdhi recipients and low income earners commenced this morning. This is against the backdrop of some Grama Niladhari and Samurdhi Officer Trade Unions stating that they will not support it.
The Sri Lanka Grama Niladhari Association stated that they are withdrawing from the payment of the allowance of Rs. 5,000 due to the irregularity of this program.
However, the President of the Sri Lanka United Gampaha Grama Niladhari Association Keerthi Tissa stated that the payment of Rs. 5,000 will be made by the officials of his association.
