The Hon. Kanthasamy Prabu
Kanthasamy Prabu responded to a reference to his name by noting that, although the Budget does not contain allocations specifically earmarked for Batticaloa District, sectoral allocations by the National People’s Power Government are expected to fund projects benefiting the district. He specifically cited allocations for the long-pending Mundeni Aru project and said funds would flow through the relevant ministries and sectors.
