The chief minister of the Northern Province, C V Wigneswaran told officials in the Northern Province not to provide information to the Sri Lankan army without seeking his approval.
His comments come amid reports that the Terrorism Investigation Department had asked health officials within the NPC for information regarding babies born in Kilinochchi during a week in May.
“If the army requested for any information, you tell them that I had requested you not to give them any information without my approval,” he said during an event in Kilinochchi yesterday.
