The President made this statement while participating in the inauguration of the third phase of the Jaffna, Myliddi Fisheries Harbour Development Project this morning (01).
Under this, it has been planned to provide essential facilities such as water, electricity, fuel, cold storage facilities, net processing center facilities, auction hall facilities and radio communication center facilities for the fishing community in the Northern Province as well as fishing boats coming from the Eastern and Southern Provinces, and Rs. 298 million has been allocated for this.
Stating that the people of the North were a decisive factor in uniting the divided people in the country during the last general election, and that this unity should be further strengthened in the future, the President also emphasized that children should never be divided.
The President stated that he, as a government, is making great efforts to resolve issues within the country without dividing it into North, South and East and added that he has paid more attention to the economic problems faced by the people of the North.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake expressed his views on Kachchativu Island as follows:
“Kachchativu Island is an important place especially for our fishing community. Today, a big discussion has been built around Kachchativu Island. I hope to go there in the evening and meet those fishermen. Our land is an island. The sea. The sky. The land. It is our responsibility to protect and pass it on to future generations. We are obliged to fulfill that. I would like to tell you that our sea is for our people, our land is for our people, and our sky is for our people, and we will not be subjected to any influence.”
