The Sri Lankan government in Colombo does not listen to the views of the Northern Provincial Council, the Chief Minister has said.
“The central government does as it pleases in the Northern Province, but does not consider our opinions when engaging in activities,” NPC Chief Minister C. V. Wigneswaran told journalists.
The chief minister spoke to press following the presentation of a ferry by Australian emissaries, for a ferry service running to Neduntheevu, a project supported by the World Bank and the Australian government.
