Industrial parks in North
by Mohammed NAALIR
The Government will set up small scale industrial parks in the
Northern Province early next year, Governor GA Chandrasiri said.
The proposed industrial parks will be set up in Jaffna, Kilinochchi,
Mannar, Vavuniya and the Mullaitivu districts. Twenty industrial parks
will be set up in each district. Priority will be given to local
investors and cooperative societies, according to Chandrasiri.
He said that foreign donors will help expedite the project. A large
number of unemployed youth in the North will secure employment and the
living standards of people will be improved.
A rice mill, pappadam factory, dried fish factory and ice factories
will be set up in the park.
