Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Deputy Minister.

¶ 02 My first supplementary question is this. It is reported that there are 18 economic centres under the Ministry of Trade, Commerce, Food Security and Co-operative Development. We all know that the traders at these centres face numerous serious problems. Consumers visiting these places also face many serious problems. Both these groups and the public at large face a severe issue. Therefore, what measures have been taken to develop these economic centres?
