Uva Provincial Chief Minister Shashindra Rajapaksa who graced the occasion said: "The Uva Provincial Council plays a vital role in the economic development of the province. Today, I am happy that the rural areas are marching forward from strength to strength with the able leadership of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
