Food contamination in Sri Lanka is prevalent in the home kitchens and food outlets, restaurants, way side hot food joints and even among the vendors who sell raw food on the way side and in carts, exposed to flies and road dust.

UNENDING RECOVERY by Nicholas Samuel WHAT THIS BOOK OFFERS Written for a general audience, this book is one-of-a-kind. It rethinks the economic problem and offers a whole new line of reasoning that attributes its stubbornness to dysfunctional pseudo market conditions. These are shown to take the edge off current policy measures to render them mere stopgaps.

Responding to queries by The Sunday Leader in this regard, UNP Media Head and Working Committee member Krishantha Cooray said that a government has to have short-term, medium-term and long-term plans. In an interview with The Sunday Leader he said that ours is a country that is seriously hampered by a human resources problem.
