The second one, he said, would be between Hikkaduwa, Galle until Tissamaharama while the third would be located between Jaffna and Kilinochchi.
The Minister of Western Development and Megapolis proceeded to say that infrastructure developments would take place in the areas located between the Valaichchenai and Ampara economic corridoor as well.
