Sri Lanka’s cabinet reshuffle must not delay vital northern infrastructure projects, including the Kankesanthurai Port and Jaffna Airport, backed by a $61 million Indian grant, to foster balanced economic growth.
Sri Lanka’s cabinet reshuffle must not delay key infrastructure projects like the Kankesanthurai Port and Jaffna Airport expansion, vital for equitable recovery, according to a report.
The changes, assigning Bimal Rathnayake and Anura Karunathilaka to key roles, aim to accelerate development ahead of the national budget.
Backed by a $61 million Indian grant, the KKS Port could handle 2,000–5,000 tonnes of cargo monthly, boosting trade for northern industries.
The Nagapattinam–KKS ferry currently carries 1,200–2,000 passengers monthly, with potential to exceed 5,000 with daily service.
An upgraded Jaffna Airport could cut travel time from Colombo to one hour, enabling international flights, tourism growth, and faster export of perishable goods.
Together, they could create a northern economic corridor to balance Colombo’s dominance.
