Coal
power plant: Union writes to Mahinda, Ranil
The CEB Engineers Union has written to the two main Presidential
candidates to take steps to implement the Norochcholai power plant
project emphasizing the need for such projects for the development
of the country.
CEB
Engineers Union Vice President Ananda Piyathilake told The Sunday
Times that the union had for many years tried to show the importance
of such projects which will benefit the country in the long run.
The
union claimed the signing last month of the MoU between China and
Sri Lanka on the Norochcholai project was a positive sign. “However
there is much work to be done to complete the project. That is why
we wrote to the candidates emphasizing the dire need to implement
the project. We hope whoever is elected priority will be given for
this project,” he said. |
