President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is scheduled to participate in several groundbreaking and opening ceremonies for new development projects in Jaffna today (01).
The third phase of the Myliddy Fishery Harbour development Project will be launched this morning under the President’s patronage.
The project will provide basic and essential facilities such as water, electricity, fuel, cold storage facilities, net-mending centres, auction halls and radio communication centres, not only for the Northern fishing community but also for fishing boats arriving from the Eastern and Southern provinces.
Following the inauguration, the President will also address a public gathering at the venue.
Meanwhile, the Jaffna Regional Office of the Department of Immigration and Emigration will also be opened today by President Dissanayake.
This office, established within the Jaffna District Secretariat premises, is equipped with modern technology and all necessary facilities. With the number of passport applications from the Northern Province steadily increasing, this regional office has been opened at a more convenient location to meet that growing need.
The President will also launch the E-Library programme at the Jaffna Public Library today, enabling people worldwide to access and use books from the library online.
In addition, the construction of the proposed Jaffna International Cricket Stadium will commence this afternoon under the patronage of the President. A public gathering is also scheduled to be held at the site.
