Thriposha company won’t be closed – Health Minister
‘Previous govt. planned to shut it down’
Health and Media Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa has assured that the state-owned Thriposha Company, situated at Kandana, will be modernised. This assurance was given during Dr. Jayatissa’s visit to the facility on Saturday (04) to discuss how to improve the facility to meet the demand.
The Opposition has alleged that the NPP government issued Gazette Notification No. 2403/53, dated 27 Sept., 2024, announcing the abolition of the state-owned Sri Lanka Thriposha Company.
During discussions with the top management of the Thriposha company, Minister Jayatissa said that the people couldn’t receive maximum possible benefits for want of proper plans. He assured that the NPP government would take tangible measures to help the company meet required nutritional standards.
Dr. Jayatissa claimed that the Wickremesinghe-Rajapaksa government had planned to close it down.
