The Sri Lanka Cement Corporation (SLCC) will start building a 60-room hotel cum hotel school at Kankesanthurai, Jaffna by next month, Sisira Paranagama, Chairman SLCC told the Business Times.
“This is a Rs 600 million project to be built adjoining the cement factory belonging to SLCC,” he said.
He said the hotel will be called the Harbour View while the hotel school will facilitate aspiring school leavers in the Jaffna peninsula who wish to entire the hotel trade.
He also said that SLCC has set up a factory in Jaffna to manufacture electricity poles, cement blocks and cylinders providing 100 job opportunities for the youth in the area.
He said that SLCC saw a Rs. 280 million loss last year, but is on the way for major income growth this year.
“During the last six months SLCC has seen a turnaround,” he said, adding that the cement consumption has increased as a result of ongoing infrastructure development projects including road network projects in the Northern and Southern Provinces in the country.
