Under the Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) programmes, the 51 Infantry Division under the Headquarter Security Forces (Jaffna) continues to make meaningful strides in supporting to uplift living standard of low income families in Jaffna. Under the strategic direction of Major General MPNA Muthumala USP psc, General Officer Commanding 51 Infantry Division, a special community outreach effort was recently held to empower under privileged living stranded. The event, supervised by Commander 513 Infantry Brigade, Brigadier SW Arachchige and executed with the dedicated support of the 11th Sri Lanka Light Infantry troops, included the ceremonial vesting of a newly constructed house on 10th October 2025 in line with 76th Anniversary of Sri Lanka Army at J/42, Kareinagar from low income family.

The occasion was graced by Major General MPNA Muthumala USP psc, General Officer Commanding 51 Infantry Division, who attended as the Chief Guest, alongside a gathering of senior military officers and government officials, adding dignity and glamour to the event. The construction was made possible through a generous financial contribution by Friends of “JOE-PETE class of 68” in memory of Late Mr. Herbert Alagaratnam, facilitated by Vanni Aid Canada with coordination efforts led by Major General Ravi Rathnasingham (Retd).

This event underscores the strong commitment to humanitarian efforts and the importance of community support in improving the living conditions of underprivileged families.
