 A colossal volunteer labour exercise is underway from the 1st to
the 29th of February with the mediation of Tissamaharama
Divisional Council. The volunteer labour movement has been
launched as intensive as well as long term projects embracing 44
Grama Sevaka Divisions of Tissamarama Divisional Council.
Several rapid programmes have been already completed and masses
are reaping their benefits. These projects under the ‘Revival of
Tissa’ programme are directly linked to the people in the area
and are implemented with the participation of more than 1000
members of ‘Red Star’ volunteer brigade and support of the
village community.
Repairing of 44 roads on a single day, implementing mosquito
eliminating projects under ‘Udugambala’ (En route to springs)
project, regulating sewage systems and making people aware of
it, reconstruction of fish market at Dombarawewa Fair and
construction at Tissa holy city and new stalls have been
undertaken while ‘Purawara pubudu’ (City revival) organizations
have been already established in all 44 Grama Sewa Divisions as
an attempt to strengthen the bond between the council and
masses. This would allow the citizens to see the development of
the projects with their own eyes.
 The benefits of this ‘volunteer labour exercise’, carried out by
officials as well as masses with ideals displayed from the top
official to the ordinary citizen, would be for the future
generation and is an exercise aimed at going beyond a ‘city of
determination’ to a ‘city of prosperity.’
The Convention of the ‘Purawara pubudu’ (City revival)
organizations established in all Grama Seva divisions will be
held at Public Grounds at Debarawewa on 25th of this month. (pic)
