General Fonseka oversees security in Vavuniya


On Friday, General Fonseka visited his troops in Vavuniya and discussed prevailing security situation with them.

The General met with troops from the 21, 56 and 61 Divisions of the army that plaid vital role in the South Wanni sector during the war on terrorism.

Lots of Air Force and Police personal attached to units in the area had also flocked the Wanni Army HQ on hearing that their beloved General was in the area.

Commander of Wanni Major General Kamal Gunarathne received General Fonseka. Maj. Gen. Gunarathne is a highly accomplished officer who was promoted during the General's tenure as Commander of the Army.

Many highly accomplished officers who would have otherwise been ignored were promoted by General Fonseka, who always gave positions on merit, unlike others who promoted their brothers, uncles or other kins.

General Fonseka, a highly disciplined but humble man, met with most of the members of the armed forces present there.

He had candid conversations with the troops, talking of their personal feelings about the security situation as well as the welfare of all valiant soldiers and their families.
