The Janatha Mandapas Uda Virodee Jathika Peramuna have been set up in forty eight Divisional Secretary's areas in the country said the National Organiser of Janatha Mandapa program Lasantha Manjula addressing the monthly meeting of Tangalle Janatha Mandapa held at Jayasumanaramaya at Tangalle.

Four Janatha Mandapas have been set up in four D.S. areas in Hambantota district. The Katuwana Janatha Mandapa was capable of putting an end to the closure of Katuwana hospital. This was brought to the notice of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and Deputy Minister of Urban Development and Water Supply Mahinda Amaraweera.

The Deputy Minister promised to give an ambulance to the Katuwana hospital.

A colossal sum of money has been allocated for the supply of water to Tissamaharama but the project still remains at the planning stage. The Janatha Mandapa will intervene in this and make it a reality.

Steps will be taken by the Tangalle Janatha Mandapa to cultivate a paddy field to the extent of hundreds of acres which was barren for several decades with the intervention of the Janatha Mandapa.

The Kekiriobada reservoir for which several foundation stones have been laid remains in same state. The intervention of the Tangalle Janatha Mandapa is essential in this regard.

The human-elephant conflict at Medawachchiya will be solved with the intervention of the Janatha Mandapa there.

Hambantota district coordinator of Uda Virodee Jathika Peramuna Ananda Jayasekera and Coordinator Tangalle Janatha Mandapa Pathmasiri Gardiyawasam was also present.
