Shirley WIJESINGHE
The Government has commenced a program to rehabilitate by-roads in
the Dambulla electorate under the Jathika Sawiya and Maga Neguma
development drives, Provincial Councils and Local Government Minister
Janaka Bandara Thennakoon said.
Sixteen by-roads in Dambulla, 26 by-roads in Galewela, six by-roads
in the Pallepola local bodies will be gravelled and concreted under this
project. Immediate action to the release of Rs. 12 million for the above
projects has been made by the Minister of Nation Building S.M.
Chandrasena on the request of Minister Thennakoon.
According to sources a majority of the people who cultivate
vegetables in the above villages face difficulties in transporting their
produce to the Dambulla Economic Centre. The poor state of roads is also
causing great difficulties to school children.
