I’ve learned that false rumours are circulating in the media about a government intention to curtail entitlements accorded to Tri Forces personnel. However, I duly proclaim that the current government has no intention of ever curtailing entitlements accorded to Tri Forces personnel at any time.”
Defence Secretary Air Vice Marshal Sampath Thuyacontha (Retd) said so while addressing Air Force personnel during his maiden visit to the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Headquarters at the Defence Headquarters Complex in Sri Jayewardenepura, Kotte on Monday (Oct 07).
The Defence Secretary visited several divisions of Air Force HQ accompanied by the Air Force Commander Air Marshal Udeni Rajapaksa and other senior officers.
Military Liaison Officer of the Ministry of Defence, Air Vice Marshal Padman De Costa also joined the Defence Secretary on his visit to the Air Force HQ.
