COLOMBO (News 1st) – The Bala mandala meeting of the SLPP Katana seat was held yesterday (November 25).

Prasanna Ranatunga, Minister of Tourism and Aviation noted that Mattala Airport which was constructed by Mahinda Rajapaksa was used to store rice by the former government.

He added that the previous government did an assessment on the losses regarding the construction of the airport, however, the reports never came light.
