Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera says that there is no problem in providing electricity to the Mihintala Poson festival.
But he also said that the amount mentioned in the electricity cost estimate received by the Electricity Board for Rs.
He said that the claims that the electricity supply has been cut off at the Mihintala shrine are completely false and said that it seems like some kind of drama is being performed these days.
He said that the government has given an amount of 30 lakh rupees to Mihintala Pudabima for the Poson festival and according to the existing tariff system, electricity can be provided to the owners of Mihintala as required.
