Minister Rauf Hakeem speaking on the votes of the Ministry of Water Supply and drainage, in the house on Wednesday said the the Iranaimadu  scheme is the only permanent solution to the drinking water problem of the people of Jaffna and the Island sector. If the representatives of the people of the North cooperate, the drinking water scheme could be implemented at a very low cost.

Although sea is being purified and supplied to people, this will cause more expenditure to the consumer, he pointed out.
