Social benefits for vulnerable sections during crisis time

The government has implemented a programme to provide financial assistance and other assistance to the most affected sections of the population during

the economic crisis and the beneficiaries will be selected under the Social Benefits Act, Cabinet Spokesman Mass Media Minister Dr. Bandula Gunawardena said.

The minister said this in response to a query by a journalist regarding the measures taken by the government regarding the affected families, including plantation workers, at the press conference to announce the Cabinet decision held today (31) at the Government Information Department. The Minister said that not only the plantation workers but the people who need assistance in the entire country will be identified, and the necessary financial allocations have been allocated in the budget, and the process of identifying the people who must be entitled for assistance is not yet complete, and after it is completed, assistance will be provided to them.
