The highly placed official told the Daily Mirror yesterday that SLMM Head Trond Furuhovde, the Norwegian facilitators and Government Peace Secretariat chief Jayantha Dhanapala would meet on Thursday at the Peace Secretariat to discuss the issue.
According to him the review of facilities is to be undertaken after several instances have been cited by the military where sick LTTE cadres who are brought to a cleared area for medical treatment are accompanied by several other persons whom the military cannot identify.
Other instances are where senior LTTE leaders seek helicopter rides from the North to the East and vice-versa. It has come to light that a large number of such trips have not been made for peace-related matters, the official said.
"We cannot identify who is coming to the cleared areas. Sometimes they submit their identities and sometimes they don't, and recently a senior LTTE cadre tried to enter the government-held area posing as a civilian, though he had been issued with an identity card. That is why the government wants the facilities reviewed", he said.
"Some groups have taken undue advantage to infiltrate Colombo and the suburbs under the Ceasefire Agreement", he charged.
He also said the government had to spend a large sum of money to maintain the peace process at the time the country was facing an economic crisis.
Meanwhile, Defence Secretary Cyril Herath said that the SLMM chief had informed him that he would personally visit the controversial Nagar Kovil area in Jaffna, where the LTTE had moved its Forward Defence Line closer to the Army Forward Defence Line.
Following the meeting with the SLMM head, Mr. Herath said the SLMM would submit a full report on the issue soon after conducting a first hand study there.
Speaking on the LTTE bunker issue in Trincomalee, he had already received a full report from the SLMM and was studying it.
