Date:

September 18, Colombo (LNW): At a recent Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) election rally in Anuradhapura, Presidential Candidate Sajith Premadasa announced key relief measures for the agricultural sector and other affected communities. He promised that an SJB-led government would write off farmers’ crop loans and provide a fuel subsidy to farmers, fishermen, three-wheeler drivers, school bus operators, and rice mill owners.

Premadasa also stated that farmers would receive 50 kg fertilizer bundles at a subsidized price of Rs. 5,000. Additionally, he outlined plans to implement a sustainable solution to the ongoing elephant-human conflict.

“We will formulate a national land usage plan, focusing on community-centered wildlife conservation, while also ensuring that tourism development is in harmony with these efforts,” Premadasa emphasized.
