Allow development committee meetings to be covered!

Journalist Lakshmanan Deva Adiran (42) has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) requesting that arrangements be made to cover the District Development Coordinating Committee (DDLC) meetings held at the District Secretariat.

The complaint was lodged by the head of the Eastern Provincial Journalists’ Forum, located at 6/8, Old Kalmunai Road, Kalladi, Batticaloa, in a situation where permission to cover Coordinating Committee meetings has been suspended.

He has lodged this complaint against the Divisional Secretariat, the Government and the District Secretariat. Mr. Adiran called 2021 the year of human rights violations issued by the government circular and pointed out that the reason for this was administrative weaknesses.

He requested that the media be given an opportunity to inform the outside world about the demands of the people by allowing journalists to cover the Development Coordinating Committee meetings held at the District Secretariat.
