The Grama Niladaris should make a post review of the service which they have completed for the public. A program will be implemented soon by the Public Administration and Home Affairs Ministry to monitor the process, Public Administration and Home Affairs Minister W D J Seneviratne said. The service of Grama Niladaris should not be confined to fixed hours. The nature of their duties cannot be compared with other services.

Minister Seneviratne was addressing a ceremony after opening a newly constructed two storied Office complex built at a cost of Rs 1.28 million for the Wanathavilluwa Divisional Secretariat yesterday. Minister Seneviratne said certain areas such as Wanathavilluwa and Eluwankulam within the Puttalam district had been neglected for last three decades.

The district immensely contributes to the national economy in various aspects. The Government will do its best to develop infrastructure facilities as well as Government services throughout the district. He said the Puttalam district is rich in natural resources specially mineral and aquatic resources.

Most of these resources were under utilized due to lack of proper planning. In the present atmosphere certain zones can be developed as more exotic sites as tourist attractions.
