Private sector should step in: Mukesh Ambani

MUMBAI, JAN. 9. The private sector should engage itself in the medium and long-term recovery and rehabilitation programmes in tsunami-affected regions, said Mukesh Ambani, Chairman, International Federation of Red Cross, today.

On a visit to Sri Lanka to review relief work being undertaken by the Red Cross volunteers, Mr. Ambani, also Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, said across the Indian Ocean rim, livelihoods, infrastructure and markets had been devastated.

``We must address the long-term consequences of the disaster. The socio-economic recovery from this disaster demands sustained and long-term interventions,'' he was quoted as saying by a RIL release.

Mr. Ambani, who met the Sri Lankan Prime Minister, Mahinda Rajapakse, was accompanied by Murli Deora, vice-president, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
