Food stocks brought from India are being directed to the Welfare Villages in Vavuniya

These stocks were brought to the country in the "Cape Colorado" vessel from the Chennai Harbour. The Sri Lanka Red Cross said the stocks will be despatched to the Welfare Villages in Vavuniya within this week. It includes rice, flour, sugar and varieties of grains. The ship, with the 650 metric tons worth about 16 million rupees, reached the Colombo Harbour last weekend. The stocks in 27 containers are being examined by the Customs. The Indian Red Cross has agreed to foot the required custom duties.
