Grama Nildhari officers refuse to distribute Rs 5,000

The Sri Lanka Grama Niladhari Association says that they are extremely inconvenienced with the sudden government decision to provide an allowance of Rs. 5000/- for 7 categories of families including low income families in lieu of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year.

Addressing a press briefing in Kandy today (11) President of the Grama Niladhari association, Sumith Kodikara said that the Grama Niladharis cannot get involved in the payment process of this Rs. 5000/- allowance.

He further said that with just one day left for the New Year, it is disappointing that the government is ordering public servants to provide the allowance hastily.
