by Attanagalla special correspondent

The first priority of the new Government is to bring Peace to the people and to look at the problems of the people in the correct perspective and take steps to solve them, Minister of Power and Energy Karu Jayasuriya said.

The Minister Jayasuriya was addressing a gathering at Attanagalla Raja Maha Vihara on Sunday where he sought the blessings of the Maha Sangha after assuming duties.

Our Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will put an end to the bloodshed in the North and the East while uniting people in the South who are divided on party lines, he said.

He said, "The people elected us to office to serve them. We have a vast responsibility towards them we, Ministers and MPs are determined to work as a team to fulfil the aspirations of the people while correcting past errors. Cooperative and consensual governance is our aim the Minister said.

He also said that his Ministry has a vast responsibility towards the country. The current power crisis is due to corruption mis-management and bad planning. Steps would be taken to revive all the institutions coming under his Ministry, he said. Gampaha District MP Sarath Chandra Rajakaruna said he would take steps to develop eight underdeveloped villages in the Attanagalla electorate by January next year.

Attanagalla Raja Maha Vihara and chief Sanghanayake Sinadi Sivu Korale Ven. Dr. Pannila Ananda Thera delivering an anusasana said that Deshabandu Jayasuriya is a kind hearted person who is ready to listen to everyone and solve problems.
