Govt soon to release list of persons who surrendered to army

Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena has said that his government will soon release a list of persons who surrendered to the army in last few months of LTTE war. <br/><br/>Interacting with families of missing persons in Tamil-majority northern province last evening, President said that he will take up the issue in meeting of National security council to be held in Colombo today. <br/><br/>His comments came as dozens of such families are protesting against the government's failure to probe disappearances of their missing relatives. <br/><br/>Sri Lankan Parliament has approved a bill last year to set up Office of Missing persons to probe into such cases but the office is yet to be set up. More than 60 thousand people are feared missing during the LTTE war with many having surrendered to the armed forces.
