REFUGEE

General Sarath Fonseka is reportedly facing a difficult situation in trying to obtain a house on rent in a secure location around Colombo given several moves taken by the Defence Ministry to put pressure on people who have agreed to give their houses to the General.

A close confidant of the General told Lanka News Web that although the General has received permission from the Defence Ministry to stay in his official residence till the end of the week, the security deployed at the Army headquarters has posed an obstacle to the General’s work. He said the General is now looking for a house to move into as soon as possible.
