Development prospects in Uva-Wellassa

Nadira GUNATILLEKE reporting from Badulla

All the local and International portfolios I received for the benefit of the public, accordingly a building complex worth Rs.500 million was constructed for Badulla hospital with the assistance of WHO funds and it will be handed over to the public soon, Healthcare and Nutrition Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva said.

He said President Mahinda Rajapaksa will open Uva University on August 5, built at a cost of Rs. 2,000 million.

A new bus stand, 26 km road network, SPC outlets and many more facilities have already been provided for the Badulla district.

The development took place because the people of Uva-Wellassa voted for President Mahinda Rajapaksa in 2005.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa established friendship and close relationship with the Arabic world and the Muslim community long time back and it is not something done in the recent past. Only he had the courage to condemn bombing in Islamic countries.

He liberated the Muslim community in the Eastern Province and they have been re-settled in their original homes.

According to Minister Silva some announcers in certain television channels want the Healthcare and Nutrition Ministry to check the quality of every single tablet before issuing them to patients and they demand such hilarious things because they do not have an iota of brain or general knowledge.

The public should not be misled by the fabricated stories publicized by certain media groups and persons on the State Pharmaceutical Corporation (SPC), Which is the only State institution to offer the drugs for people with the best quality and the lowest price.
