"In addition to these development activities, many other selected roads are almost nearing completion and they too are anticipated to be over prior to end of this year," MP Buddika Pathirana said.
"The speedy enhancement of daily livelihood activities of the remote rural people would be boosted further with the completion of proposed road improvement programs. All these road development activities are scheduled to be finished before the end of this year.
The provision of better road transport facilities for people in far-off difficult areas in the Matara district would be the primary objective of all these endeavours and decentralized budgetary funds allocated for the district of Matara are utilised in this regard."
