Program to provide water to drought affected areas

Under the program, drinking water is being delivered to 180, 000 families in 83 divisional secretariat units in 15 districts.

The Presidential Secretariat under the directive of the President has taken action to provide tractor bowsers to expeditiously supply water to affected areas.

Kauthara, Kurunegala, Mulative, Kilinochchi, Vavunia and Mannar districts have been provided with these water bowsers so far.

On this occasion, the President also inspected the mobile service which sells the toxin free food, produced under the local food production program.
