The first project completed under the the News 1st/Sirasa/Shakthi Media Network’s Gammedda 100-day initiative was vested with the people at a ceremony on Wednesday.
The Damanayaya Road in Sigirimulla was once a dilapidated road that had not been repaired or maintained for more than two decades. The road that serves more than 20 villages in the area was repaired under the Gammedda programme that was launched recently with the aim of solving people’s problems. Partnering News 1st in the road repair project was Brandix Lanka Ltd.
Hundreds of villagers, members of the clergy and officials took part at the opening ceremony.
The Gammedda 100 Day Initiative will continue in the weeks and months to come, completing projects funded solely by the public.
