Sri Lanka’s northeast region is set for a mini-economic boom in coming months – once the LTTE-freed north is cleared for take-off – with the private sector preparing for huge investments to make up for years of lost opportunities.
The Ministry of Nation Building says Sri Lankans living abroad can send financial aid to the President’s Fund for rehabilitation of the northeast. “People abroad can send financial aid directly to the President’s Fund - to the Uthuru Wasanthaya programme to help the North and to the Negenahira Navodaya programme to help the East,” said the Secretary to the Ministry of Nation Building, W K K Kumarasiri.
