In a significant move by the new government, long queues have formed outside the Kantale Land Secretariat as residents eagerly await applications for land belonging to the Kantale Sugar Factory. This surge in interest follows President Anura Dissanayake’s recent announcement that approximately 11,000 acres of land from the factory will be made available to the public.
People have been lining up for several days, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm and anticipation regarding this land allocation. The government’s decision aims to empower local residents and promote agricultural development in the region, marking a notable shift in land management policy under the new administration.
