'Action against those disrupting work'

'Honest public servants who discharge their duties for the benefit of the people should be allowed to do their work freely and if anybody is going to threaten or intimidate them, stern action would be taken against those responsible for such behaviour, said Kamburupitiya co-ordinating committee chairman and Matara district MP Hemal Gunasekara.

He was speaking at the recently held meeting of the Kamburupitiya co-ordinating committee held at Kamburupitiya Divisional Secretariat auditorium.

Gunasekara said the OIC Kamburupitiya Police and Divisional Secretary of Kamburupitiya are both doing good work for the benefit of the people and those trying to sabotage their good work by making false allegations against them should be severely dealt with.

He said during the last year Rs 600 million had been spent for the development programme of Kamburupitiya and Rs 800 million is to be spent this year for further development of Kamburupitiya. He also requested relevant departments to submit their work project proposals for 2012 before January 25.

Kamburupitiya PS Chairman Chandana Siribaddana said projects worth Rs 60 million had been spent for Kamburupitiya development activities during last year under the Gama Neguma and Maga Neguma programmes.

This year, it has been planned to provide facilities for the development of rural areas of Kamburupitiya under the Puranagama programme by spending Rs 50 million.

Arrangements had also been made to erect a sports complex in a two acre land and also implement a compost fertilizer production project.

PS members Ananda Weerasingha, Atula Weerasinghe, Vice Chairman Sanjeewa Priyanath, SPC members D. D. Prathapasinghe, J. Kodituwakku and Div. Secretary, Kamburupitiya S. S. Singappuli also participated.
