(June 28, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) President Mahinda Rajapaksa inaugurated the operations of reconstructed Beruwala fishing harbour yesterday(27 June).
The harbour which was destroyed by tsunami was reconstructed with the financial assistance of the Chinese government. The harbour was constructed under `Thotupola Aruna` programme with a total cost of Rs. 410 m. The harbour consists of a jetty, well-equipped fish processing unit, and a new boat yard.
