Deputy Minister of Ports and Civil Aviation Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku recently conducted a special inspection at the Colombo Port canteen, which caters to a large number of workers daily.
The visit revealed that the facility had deteriorated due to poor administration, despite the Port Authority incurring high costs per meal. Workers raised concerns that the food quality does not match the expenditure.
Following discussions with the canteen staff, the Deputy Minister met with senior management to address the issues. He instructed officials to submit a report at the next review meeting outlining the necessary changes to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance standards.
Representatives from trade unions and Ministry officials also participated in the inspection. (Newswire)
