Make maximum use of Kalu Ganga waters for national development - PM

A development programme to utilise the waters of the Kalu Ganga to the optimum level for the benefit of people living around its banks is to be implemented shortly by the Government. Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayaka directed irrigation officials to draw up a plan to facilitate this and submit a report before the end of October this year. The Prime Minister issued this directive when the special Ministerial Committee on the development of the Kalu Ganga basin met at his office on July 14.
