Despite my repeated writings highlighting what has happened to the Dry Zone tanks, the life blood of the people, no action has been taken and today- 2023, there is no proper method of distributing water.
This is a matter of great urgency that needs the attention of the Ministry of Agriculture. In entire Sri Lanka today the tanks are neglected and before long we will face starvation, as it is the Dry Zone that is our granary. May this plea reach the ears of our leaders
May my publication in 2017 get some attention from the Government authorities.
