Boost for agriculture in Kilinochchi

[September 16 2010]

Sixty two irrigation tanks in the kilinochchi district will be renovated to revamp the agricultural activities in the district.

Hambantota Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa launched the program to renovate the irrigation tanks in kilinochchi yesterday.

Irrigation infrastructure such as tanks, canals and sluice gates had suffered damage over the years and were later neglected without proper maintenance.

Under the renovation program, several institutions attached to the Ministry of Agriculture will play their role in revamping agricultural activities in Kilinochchi.
