He has cited the state of stagnation seen in the construction work in Colombo and suburbs as an example, the President’s Media Division (PMD) said in a statement. President Rajapaksa has instructed each on-going construction to be completed without delay and requested all the parties to prepare themselves for a development revolution, backed by an attitudinal change. He made these comments during a discussion with the State Ministry of Rural Home Constructions and Building Material Industry Promotion to review its future activities at the Presidential Secretariat yesterday (17). President Rajapaksa highlighted the importance of participation of the private and state sectors in all the constructions. “Steps will be taken to provide lands free of charge for the ministry to construct apartment complexes suitable for middle-income earners,” President has added.
