🛣️ Govt Prioritizes Skilled RDA Engineers for Economic Growth

• President Anura Kumara Dissanayake met with Road Development Authority (RDA) engineers to affirm the government's recognition of their role in developing the expressway network and fostering national economic growth. • A key challenge highlighted was the departure of many RDA engineers from the country in recent years, which has hindered development project implementation. • Detailed discussion covered specific issues: long-delayed promotions (postponed for several years due to administrative complications) and salary disparities for RDA engineers. • The President instructed Ministry of Finance officials to identify and propose prompt, fair, and feasible measures to resolve these issues without compromising the country's economic stability.
