Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya has decided to hold elections for the two local Government bodies in the war-ravaged Mullativu District on 24 March. The Elections Commissioner met with the representatives of political parties today to discuss the elections for the Puthukudiyiruppu and Maritimepattu Pradeshiya Sabhas in the Mullativu District.

The elections for the two local bodies were postponed due to the resettlement programme and the de-mining programme that were continuing in the area.

Elections have already been held for the rest of the local Government bodies in the Northern Province.
