“Following a meeting held in the morning (2), we visited the economic centres that are located in and around Colombo and its suburbs to look at the possibility of reopening these centres, so the supply chain can continue without any hindrance and people will be able to make their vegetable purchases through a special mechanism that is currently implemented,” Wijesiri told The Morning.
A meeting was called by Minister of Agriculture Mahindananda Aluthgamage, which was also attended by State Minister Shasheendra Rajapaksa, the Cabinet Ministry Secretary, secretaries from the Ministry of Trade, and Wijesiri.
Wijesiri said: “The Ministry is awaiting the results of the PCR tests that were carried out on the traders and will look at them reopening for trade, at the earliest date, with restricted access initially allowed only for supplier lorries and then wholesale purchasers only.”
Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Matale District MP Rohini Kaviratne, in a social media post, had alerted that the traders will not be able to sell their produce due to the quarantine curfew that was in place and also due to the restricted movement that is observed across the country to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
DEC Trade Association Chairman Channa Arawwala, speaking to a provincial reporter last morning, noted: “There is a considerable reduction in wholesale buyers coming to the DEC. Following the outbreak of Covid-19, we received the highest stock of vegetables today (2) and are worried that we will not be able to move the stocks before it starts to perish given the present situation in the country.”
According to Wijesiri, immediate measures were taken to deploy sufficient lorries from all parts of the country that purchase vegetables from Dambulla on a day-to-day basis.
