Construction chamber welcomes Mahinda
The Chamber of Construction Industry last week joined a host of other chambers in welcoming new President Mahinda Rajapakse and expressed its fullest co-operation in implementing construction related projects in the “Mahinda Chintanaya”.

Chamber President Surath Wickremasinghe, referring to the growth rate of 8% mentioned in the manifesto, said the chamber has been persistently promoting Physical Infrastructure Projects coupled with its corresponding plans for development.

He said they were fully supportive of Rajapakse’s proposals not only for urban areas but also the regions. “This way it is possible to optimize the economic potential of the different regions in agriculture, fisheries, livestock, tourism, industries and so on, based on an integrated development plan,” Wickremasinghe said.
