The Coordination Committee of the Kegalle District has opted to suspend the construction of four power stations in the Kegalle District with immediate effect.

Hence constructions on the Amanawala, Berannawa, Mallapola and Morantota private power stations in the Yatiyantota electorate have been suspended.
The decision had been made due to several objections being raised by the public stating that environmental factors were not considered during the building of these power stations.
