Government Unshaken Till 2020 – PM

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe while  speaking at a UNP election rally at Nikaweratiya town yesterday said,  despite challenges  the unity government will continue until 2020.

Although persons involved in corruption and malpractices in the past were trying to change the Good Governance government, the Premier said that they will never succeed in their  attempt.

The Wanni Hathpaththuwa Development plan and   Sinharaja Range Development project will be introduced and implemented this year,” the Prime Minister said.

 “If the large area reserved in Galagamuwa for an elephant habitat proved insufficient to tackle the wild elephant menace causing undue pressure on the people of Wayamba, more elephant zones will have to be demarcated to find a solution to it. Tourist Zones could be developed around such elephant zones,”the Prime Minister added.

The Prime Minister, who promised to provide necessary funding for dredging neglected tanks and reservoirs in the Wayamba, said that drip irrigation systems too should be developed in the region.
