Lanka to ease emergency regulations
Colombo, May 4 Sri Lanka today announced it would ease its wartime emergency regulations introduced in 1983, including restriction on holding public meetings and publishing literature considered inflammatory by authorities, nearly a year after its security forces defeated the LTTE.
As the number of trapped Tamil civilians crossing over to safer government-held zones nears the hundred thousand mark, Sri Lankan is dispatching a special emissary to India to discuss relief and rehabilitation measures for these people.
