The Central Environmental Authority has taken a fresh initiative of extending the environmental support to industrialists in Sri Lanka.

According to Chairman, Central Environmental Authority Wimal Rubasinhe large scale industrialists who are immensely contributing to the country's economy are to be accorded the priority under the first phase of this program.

Gradually these programs would be expanded to other industrialists in the island as well.

Measures are currently being taken to identify large scale industrialists who directly contribute to the economic development in Sri Lanka.

CEA officials will personally visit their industrial sites for giving them necessary instructions and technical know-how on how to continue with their industries in an environmentally friendly manner.

Officers attached to the Central Environmental Authority will also have talks with heads of state institutions with the objective of promoting and further expanding these industries which would largely contribute to the economic uplift of the country he said.Extending a helping hand to accelerated development and economic uplift of Sri Lanka would be the vision and mission of all these endeavours CEA, Chairman, Wimal Rubasinhe said.
