Tamil Progressive Alliance leader Mano Ganesan announced on Wednesday (21) that he would send a written request to President and Finance Minister Anura Kumara Dissanayake regarding the upcoming budget.

Speaking to media in Colombo, Ganesan called for a gazette notification specifying tea plucking wages to make rates legally binding on companies. He also urged the government to distribute residential lands for individual housing rather than apartments.

Ganesan demanded clear budget allocations and targets for plantation housing over the government's remaining three years. He noted that while Minister Samantha Vidyaratna pledged 6,000 houses by 2025, only 50 have been built.
