COLOMBO, 1 May, 2021 (TON): The workers, especially the farmers will reap the benefits of the local economy that is being strengthened by the import restrictions imposed on 19 items, said Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
Marking the International Workers’ Day, the President said, “We are aware that you have been strengthened and empowered by the move to remove barriers to sell farmers’ produce during the festive season.”
However, he noted that although the working community is most adversely affected groups in the world due to the pandemic, but the government is working with commitment to ensure better living standards for its citizens without imposing limitations that obstruct the economic activities of the working people.
