Complaints against SL Deputy Minister’s empty promises

[TamilNet, Tuesday, 21 September 2010, 06:52 GMT]
Sri Lanka Deputy Minister of Rehabilitation, Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna, has failed to fulfill his promises to solve the drinking water problem of the people of Kuruma’nve’li and Murungkaiyadi and the difficulties caused by the break down of the boat service between Thu’raineelaava’nai and Annamalai in Batticaloa district, the people of the areas said. Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Batticaloa district parliamentarian P. Selvarasa had raised these issues two months ago in the District Development meeting presided by the Deputy Minister. There is no use in Muralitharn being a Deputy Minister in Sri Lanka government when he hasn’t the power to solve even these problems, the people said.

The development of Ma’nmunai South Eruvil area located 60 km from Batticaloa town was discussed in the meeting where Muralitharan had assured that he will attend to the problems raised.

The local government body which had agreed to supply drinking water to Kuruma’n Murungkaiyadi people had not done anything.

The break down of the boat service between Thu’raineelaava’nai and Annamalai is the cause of untold difficulties experienced by the farmers, workers, school children and patients.

This issue too was raised in the District Development meeting but the Deputy Minister who had promised to rectify the problem had failed to do so.

The promises of Sri Lanka Deputy Minister, Eastern Province Chief Minister and other Sri Lanka ministers and deputy ministers who unfailingly participate in the various development meetings held at district and regional levels are never fulfilled, the people of Batticaloa district said.
