Sashindra makes ethanol using raw rice
Western provincial council Member S M Marikkar has stated that though it is “mathata thitha” under Mahinda Chinthana, the former Chief Minister of Uva Sashindra Rajapaksa puts “bathata thitha” as he uses raw rice to make ethanol.
Addressing a meeting in Monaragala, he said that the government has taken the water to Mattala air port and Hambantota harbour from Uma Oya instead of giving the water to the people in Monaragala.
