Development Drive will continue despite crises – State Minister Herath

No reason can prevent the development drive in the country, State Minister Kanaka Herath said.

The State Minister was participating in a Tree Planting Programme in Rambukkana yesterday.

“Everyone has to understand the present global economic crisis and the economic situation in the country,” the State Minister said.

“Prices of imports have gone up and transport fees have increased by three folds,” he said.

“However, imports have been restricted to empower local producers,” he said.
