From Sinniah Gurunathan, Trincomalee correspondent
The Chamber of Commerce and Industries of the Trincomalee district (CCITD) has condemned Wednesday’s bomb explosion and violence against the business community. About 20 shops and business establishments and several vehicles were burnt down.

In a statement, the CCITD has appealed to the government to provide adequate relief and compensation to the n

xt of kin of the people who died in the incidents. The CCITD said preplanned violence of this nature would affect the economy of the country and would dissuade investors coming to the region. Furthermore it would disrupt the peaceful atmosphere in the area, the statement said.

The CCITD expressed its deepest condolences to relatives of the dead and injured and also to the members of the business community who were affected.
