President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, in his capacity as the Minister of Finance, commenced the presentation of the Appropriation Bill for the year 2027 to Parliament today (12).
The government has decided to undertake a major transformation of the Peliyagoda Fish Market, which has long faced various issues.
While presenting the budget proposals to Parliament, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake stated that the market’s daily operations have been severely hindered by inadequate sanitary facilities, limited cold storage capacity, and long-standing problems regarding waste management. To address this situation, it has been proposed through the 2027 Budget to allocate Rs. 1 billion in equity capital for the modernization of market facilities under a new business management structure.
