‘Government looking after estate sector’

This Government has given due recognition to the problems and difficulties faced by the estate community. We are been treated with respect and dignity and the Government is looking into our problems by helping develop the estate sector.

This was the opinion of 1000 UNPers who received SLFP membership from Healthcare and Nutrition Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva.

“They said all Governments of the past had badly neglected the estate sector and were only interested in our people during election times”.

According to them, the present Government led by President Mahinda Rajapaksa took over several estate hospitals and developed them with all modern facilities and human resources. The Government took over the responsibility of estate communities from the estate companies. This helped to develop the infrastructure facilities in the estate sector significantly.

“The price of fuel and other things are not our problems. Such problems do not have an impact on us. What is important to us is our identity, dignity and the quality of life”, they added.
