The government must build few stores in North Central.

MRIA a threat to spore - you must be joking. Spore so far ahead with their us$55000 per person earningcapacity that SL will take 25 years to get near. They are storing oil underground.

Soon will be heavy air traffic around this PA (paddy airport) as foreigners will come to buy paddy.
Lawry Saturday, 29 August 2015 04:54 PM
And let the paddy rot for now?

What can you expect from a Country with idiotic bureaucrats who cannot even properly market sigiriya to the world.

Storing paddy in hangers is bad for image of Sri Lanka and shows lack of class. Top professionals should be brought in to recommend ways to make the airport viable or see what else can be done with it, for the Airport is being paid for by the Sri Lankan people.

I believe this airport can be utilized as a domestic airport, aviation training center, office complex and a hotel instead of a paddy market storage building.Dr M.L.Najimudeen

Well said

Why cant they privatize this airport? Dont they have any other place to store paddy?Singapore must be laughing for this act as MRIA is a future threat to them.I heard , during 60s,Singapore was behind pickettings in Colombo port.

If the clowns have genuine wish to reconcile with Tamils, they should dismantle this white elephant and reopen Palaly International airport as it was in past!

The Magampura port in Hambantota should be leased out to people who would like to farm prawns and crabs.

Not a good idea! A further disaster

Thanks to Mahinda Chinthanaya. Can we use the run way for Namals car race in the night. Please make best use of it.

For the bats to hang may be.
Rahim Friday, 28 August 2015 09:43 PM
Up to now we have seen farmers of North central provincesuffering without storage facilities. So this means, they must bring their paddy all the way to Mattala?
Dissa Friday, 28 August 2015 09:30 PM
Will that paddy transport by using this via DM Android App
madamoosalaya Friday, 28 August 2015 09:21 PM
Good and useful idea.
Lanka Friday, 28 August 2015 08:41 PM
If people are willing to pay more for their doze of rice, farmers can be paid more. It goes both ways!
Fassey Friday, 28 August 2015 08:05 PM
Without being annoyed be happy that MRIA is going to get some revenue.
Top Cat Friday, 28 August 2015 07:42 PM
To store HIS paddy, what else!!?
sss Friday, 28 August 2015 06:31 PM
also please pay a decent price to farmers. it is a sin to keep them in perpetual poverty while we are sustained by them
Cobra Friday, 28 August 2015 06:30 PM
What do you think Mahinda made those huge hangers for????
sukry Friday, 28 August 2015 06:28 PM
disgusting and annoyed, what a country and horrible people they are, this is a sabotage. the country image is a shed as a ignorant
Bala Friday, 28 August 2015 06:17 PM
Yes make use of the buildings for anything - after all storing paddy does not damage or spoil the warehouse unlike say heavy goods or lubricant oil (floor damage) or dry fish (smell) .
