The Director General of the Road Development Authority, Mr. L.V.S. Veerakoon, said that the bills for the street lights on both sides of the road are currently being paid by the Road Development Authority and that it is very difficult for the Road Development Authority to carry out road maintenance these days.
As a result, the Road Development Authority stated that the bills for the street lights will have to be paid to the respective Municipal Councils and Regional Councils in the future.
