The Tri-Forces will provide transportation for senior citizens to visit banks to obtain their pensions for the month of June tomorrow (10), Army Commander General Shavendra Silva said.

He said the programme would be carried out under the directives of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

“Accordingly, the Tri-Forces and Police will jointly provide transport facilities for senior citizens to visit the relevant banks to obtain the payment and again drop their homes,” the Army Chief said.

The banks will remain open tomorrow to issue the pensions.

The programme will be conducted with the coordination and the assistance of Grama Niladharis and Divisional Secretariats.
