A special meeting between Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya and members of the Voice of the Plantation People Organisation was held this week in Colombo.

At this meeting, issues related to fundamental rights, including land, housing, and education of Malaiyaha plantation workers, a marginalised community of Tamils living in the Southern and Western provinces of the country, were discussed.

The Prime Minister paid special attention to the declaration of basic demands of the Malaiyaha people and said that she would directly intervene in the matter of education and vocational training facilities of their children. “The demands regarding infrastructure facilities, land and housing will be referred to the relevant Minister and solutions will be provided,” said Dr. Amarasuriya.
