The support of the central government and the Western Provincial
Council is necessary to solve problems of Colombo city. The Colombo
Municipal Council (CMC) cannot do it alone, said UPFA Colombo mayoral
candidate Milinda Moragoda at the SLFP press conference at the Mahaweli
Centre yesterday.
He said that a majority of the people living in Colombo are faced
with a lot of difficulties.
“There are a large number of tenaments in Colombo bearing dubious
names such as Korea, Sudan, Ethiopia, etc. When we visited these areas
we feel how suitable these names are for these areas.”
“The scale of the city’s major problems, including housing, garbage
disposal and traffic congestion is larger than that which the CMC could
handle. It is necessary to find solutions for all these problems with
the support of the central and provincial government and local
government authorities. The government has launched housing projects to
solve housing problems in the city,” said Moragoda.
