Public sector and Armed Forces work must be appreciated
December 04, 2025
|Daily FT
ONE thing that is crystal clear in the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah is that Sri Lanka's public sector workers and members of the triforces and Police rise to the occasion when the country is in dire need for their services.
-
Those in the public service have diligently taken up the task of providing relief to those affected by the disaster while members of the Armed Forces are assisting people trapped in different places due to landslides and floods while also undertaking the grim tasks for recovering the remains of those who have lost their lives. The Sri Lanka Police has also stepped in to ensure law and order, particularly to ensure that the homes of the people displaced by the natural disaster are safeguarded while they are in shelters.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has called on the public officials and the Armed Forces and Police to ensure that those affected are given all the necessary funds.
Ironically it is the same President who not so long ago thought it fit to talk down to State sector officials at various gatherings asking those who can't work according to the Government policies to quit.
