Vegetable stocks arrive; Ministry calls for unhindered transport

Colombo, Dec. 1 (Daily Mirror) - The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Lands and Irrigation said that large quantities of vegetables are now being collected from key supply regions in the Badulla District, including Welimada and Keppetipola. 

Major varieties such as cabbage, carrots, and beans are currently arriving in bulk despite the challenging conditions.
