The third phase of the Myliddy Fisheries Harbour Development Project will be launched this morning (01) under the President’s patronage.

 Under this project, essential facilities such as water, electricity, fuel, cold storage, net-mending centers, auction halls, and radio communication centers will be provided not only to the Northern fishing community but also to fishing vessels arriving from the Eastern and Southern provinces. Following the commencement ceremony, the President will also attend a public gathering at the same location.

Meanwhile, the new Jaffna Regional Office of the Department of Immigration and Emigration will be officially opened today (01) by President Dissanayake. Located within the Jaffna District Secretariat premises, the office is equipped with modern technology and facilities. It has been established to meet the growing demand for passport applications from the Northern Province and to provide easier access to services.

In addition, the E-Library program of the Jaffna Library will also be launched today under the President’s leadership. This initiative will enable individuals from anywhere in the world to access and use the collection of the Jaffna Public Library online.

The construction of the proposed new Jaffna International Cricket Stadium will also commence this afternoon (01) under the President’s patronage. The President is expected to attend a public meeting at the venue following the inauguration ceremony.
