Lanka gets tough

According to the bureau the Jordan recruitment agency has informed the Foreign Employment Bureau that they are ready to provide a salary less than 200 US Dollars.

The Additional General Manager of the bureau L.K. Ruhunage said the bureau will not permit domestic workers to go to Jordan as the salary is too low.
