2016-05-11

Opposition Leader and the Leader of Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Rajavarothayam Sampanthan has appealed to the Tamil Diaspora to take part in the development activities in the Northern and Eastern Provinces.

He has pointed out that as large-scale development plans are to be implemented in some areas in the Northern and Eastern Provinces, including Trincomalee, such attempts can provide employment for the youth in the areas.

Sampanthan has also said experts in Singapore are showing special interest regarding the development plans and preparing plans to be presented before the end of this year.

"Tamil Diaspora can also invest in these development projects to open factories and contribute to the employment opportunities for the youth," he said.

He made the appeal at a meeting held in Thennamarvadi, Trincomalee District.
