Opposition MP Dr. Harsha de Silva has alleged that the temperature and humidity-controlled agricultural storage complex in Dambulla, which was declared open during the recent visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is still not operational.
During an observation visit to the site yesterday (15 Apr), MP de Silva claimed that the current government has misled the public by announcing the facility’s opening, despite it not being in working condition.
He further stated that no real progress had been made at the site since their previous government’s involvement, apart from installing a name board. (Newswire)
