B. Muralidhar Reddy
COLOMBO:
On the eve of the Co-Chairs of Sri Lanka conference in Washington, the Mahinda Rajapaksa Government late on Sunday night ordered opening of the A 9 highway that links rest of the country to the Jaffna peninsula for transportation of essential commodities.
A 9 has been closed since August 11 after major clashes between the Sri Lanka military and the LTTE.
A statement by the President's Secretariat said that in the light of representations from several quarters, Mr. Rajapaksa "directed Government authorities to make arrangements for the transport of essential goods to Jaffna by road using the A 9, as a one-time measure.
"Soon, a large convoy of lorries would take essential commodities to Jaffna."
