Now Sri Lanka is producing 33MT/day of Milk Powder by Both Pelwatte and Highland. But supply is only fullfilling 20.30% of the Sri Lankan demand.   :-(   However I think year 2012 is one of the turning points of this country economy. We have imported 83,817.7 MT of milkpowder in 2012 and the cost was 39023 million rupees. In 2013 we have imported 69,452.4 MT of Milk Powder and cost was 37572.1 millio n rupees. That means sudden reduction of 1450.9 million rupees per year. The major reason is Pelwatte staring its first powder plant construction in 2011. Now we are constructing 3rd Milk Powder Plant at Pelwatte and 4th one also be stared very soon. This will help to increse the supply up to 26.46% of Sri Lankan demand and this also will be a huge turning point of the process industry in Sri Lanka and economy. #GannaApeDe  —  feeling hopeful.

Colombo, like all large urban centres, requires strategies to dispose of the vast amounts of solid waste generated daily by its citizens. The tragic loss of life and property that resulted from the disaster at Meethotamulla has prompted the Government to seek instant answers to this problem particularly as there are many other solid waste ‘mountains’ beginning to rear their ugly tops over the landscape. Current answer for Colombo had been with Muthurajawela. There is a recycling plan associated with the process and it is not intended as another dump though the very nature of the site raises questions. Colombo, however, has a chance to be different; to execute methods of waste disposal that have been well researched, are efficient, and do not harm the environment. Colombo, and Sri Lanka, has the opportunity to raise its head as an example to others, rather than just allow its waste dumps to grow into towering monsters. With this in mind, the Wildlife & Nature Protection Society
