The SP Ayurvedic Commissioner said so at a function held at Tusita Pirivena, Urubokka to inaugurate an Ayurvedic Mobile Clinic and an exhibition conducted by the Ayurvedic Preservation Board of Pasgoda. Ven. Bengamuwa Chandananda Thera, President of the Pasgoda Peace Conciliation Board chaired the function. The Commissioner further said that steps would be taken soon to set up more Ayurvedic Preservation Boards on Divisional Secretariat basis and Ayurvedic Medical Villages would also be set up in each such secretariat at the rate of 2 for each.
