President Gotabaya Rajapaksa says that the Governors and District Secretaries should personally intervene to maintain essential services and prevent any disruption to the lives of the people.
The President said that despite the current situation, the country’s economy could not be allowed to collapse and that the contribution of all stakeholders was needed to overcome the challenge and move forward as a country. He called on the Governors and District Secretaries to extend their fullest support to the continuation of the operations at factories and development projects.
The President expressed these views at the monthly meeting held with the Governors and District Secretaries at the Presidential Secretariat this morning (02).
The President pointed out the importance of looking into the possibility of operating a factory or carrying out a development project uninterrupted in compliance with health recommendations instead of shutting them down at once when an infected person is detected at a factory or a project premises.
