Director of LECS Imran Hassan said that as a part of their social
responsibility towards Jaffna they would invest Rs. 2.5 million to
assist the development of the Alfred Duraiappa Stadium in Jaffna.
The fair has been the ideal meeting ground for small timers as well
as big players of the region to witness firsthand the emerging markets
and technologies that could be applied in the peninsula.
It has also paved the way for networking and the strengthening of
trade ties between different regions”, he said. The company would
install a sprinkler system, install lights and also build a fence around
the stadium.
“We have undertaken to completely maintain the Alfred Duraiappa
stadium that is considered a major attraction and a hub of activity for
the people of Jaffna”, he said.
