Ceasefire monitoring as usual
The Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission will continue monitoring the ceasefire agreement despite President Chandrika Kumaratunga taking over the Defence portfolio.
The SLMM's Acting Chief Hagraup Hauckland told The Sunday Times there would not be any changes in the monitoring process.

"We have got assurance from both parties of their support and we will continue with the work. I am yet to meet the new Defence Secretary but at the moment we coordinate through the Peace Secretariat. The SLMM has increased its monitors specially in the populated areas," Mr. Hauckland said. He said meetings between the Government and the LTTE representatives would continue whenever required.
