Troops Construct One More New House for a Poor Family
9 Sri Lanka National Guard (SLNG) troops of the Security Force Headquarters-Mullaittivu (SFHQ-MLT) considering the living condition of an old couple in the general area of Mullivaikkal, offered their labour to erect a new shelter for them with the support of state authorities and Army troops.
