¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. While today’s readings are favourable, recent media reported elevated pollution within Kandy city limits. Surrounded by forest but with heavy traffic, schools are around the Kandy Lake roundabout. The Kandy General Hospital reports many children treated for respiratory issues; COPD among children is noted. What actions will you take?
