COLOMBO (News1st): President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said that resolving people’s issues is not a political drama or a media circus.

The President pointed out that, not going to the people and attempting to solve the problems of the people through officials, is not his method.

The 9th phase of ”The Gama Samaga Pilisandarak” discussion program got underway at the Dikellakanda Kanishta Vidyalaya in the Deraniyagala Divisional Secretariat of the Kegalle District.

Strict action must be taken if certain individuals have taken advantage of the decisions taken to resolve people’s problems, the president added.

President decided to handover the ownership of the farmlands that have been cultivated throughout generations to its rightful owners; the farmers.
