Action should be taken to enable State institutions to render their services to the public with efficiency, and in so doing, a proper connectivity should be established between those institutions, said President Mahinda Rajapaksa during a pre-Budget discussion with the Government Agents yesterday (October 13) at Temple Trees.
On this occasion, GAs pointed out various shortcomings in development in their districts as well as the development endeavours scheduled to be implemented.
The discussion also focused attention on environmental issues that arise in development. The President gave instructions to the GAs and the Chairman of the Central Environmental Authority to minimize environmental damage, and to take necessary legal action against those defying environmental protection.
He also stressed that the Child Protection Authority and the Department of Probation and Childcare should work in unison to crack down on child abuse, another main social issue at present.
During the discussion, Minister Basil Rajapaksa expressed his views about the proposed National Crops Programme scheduled to be initiated with the sponsorship of the Ministry of Agriculture.
