Ajith P. Perera urged the Deputy Minister to take note that land acquisitions for the Millaniya Investment Promotion Zone had been completed, though much of the land had since reverted to rubber cultivation. He said about Rs. 360 million had already been spent on the 460-acre project and called for it to be prioritized as a strategic initiative that could be completed within the current Government’s term.
