Eggs will be sold at Rs.55 tomorrow (28) at 22 locations in Colombo and Gampaha.
The move comes following discussions held between Minister Mahinda Amaraweera and several egg producer associations yesterday (26) pertaining to selling eggs at the lowest possible price due to the exponential increase in egg prices.
Accordingly, the associations agreed to sell an egg at Rs.55.
Associations therefore resorted to measures to deploy 20 lorries tomorrow (28) to sell eggs at several locations around Colombo and in Gampaha.
The lorries will be stationed in crowded cities such as the Colombo Fort Railway Station, Dematagoda, Slave Island, Dehiwala, Battaramulla, Nugegoda, Maharagama, Meegoda and Narahenpita Economic Centres, the junction adjacent to the State Rupavahini Corporation and in Homagama.
Eggs will be sold in similar fashion from lorries at Wattala, Ja-Ela, Ragama, Negombo, Kiribathgoda, Kadawata, and Peliyagoda.
