    It is a leap forward,but facilities which receive for Urban areas should flow up for rural areas also.therefore,we all,the majority in Sri Lanka is still far behind goal of the development.it propose to arrange a better plan to link the town and the far most areas in Sri Lanka,like padaviya,Welioya and Sri pura in Anuradhapura.
