There at that entrance\u00a0they were shot through their foreheads and left dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0This episode is mentioned in the book \u201cThe Broken Palmyrah\u201d authored by a group of Tamil intellectuals and academics. The book refers to Joseph Jayamanne as a very\u00a0capable and enthusiastic engineer. It also mentions Mr.Jayamanne\u2019s concern and attachment to his Tamil staff and work force of the factory, and his successful efforts at a difficult period to ensure that they were paid their dues. The book goes on to narrate the anger of the Tamil staff at the senseless murder of this great man, and of their helplessness and despair subsequent to his tragic demise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Joseph Jayamanne was the Project Manager of the Kankesanthurai Cement Factory. He was its builder. He also built the present Kankesanthurai harbour, several military installations of the north, as well as the Harbour View Hotel. The army commander of that time, General Cyril Ranatunga bore testimony to these facts.\u00a0Mr Jayamanne spent several years in Jaffna totally devoted to his tasks, which meant neglecting his young\u00a0family at Eldeniya, Kadawata. The news of his murder spread like wild fire and occupied the headlines of the newspapers. Some articles highlighted his great love and esteem for the Tamil people and expressed utter disbelief about the fate he suffered. \u00a0The Minister of Defence Mr.Lalith Athulathmudali sent a personal message of sympathies while, \u00a0Mr. Ranil Wickremasinghe as well as Mr.Somaratne, Chairman of the Cement Corporation\u00a0visited his home and expressed their grief and condoleances. Mr.Somaratne paid high tribute to this selfless and dedicated man. A great number of distinguished visitors thronged his home for the memorial service. The LTTE had reportedly burnt his body so that not a stitch of his clothing came home for burial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Now that the factory is going to be relaunched, I wish to make a plea to His Excellency the President on behalf of the family of the late Mr.Joseph Jayamanne, that his statue be constructed and placed on the factory premises as a symbol of his preponderant role in the planning and construction of the Kankesanthurai Cement Factory, and the\u00a0supreme sacrifice he made \u00a0on behalf of the Government of Sri Lanka and the Tamil\u00a0population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Mario Perera,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Kadawata<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px; color: #800080;\">KKS Cement Factory to resume operations, Sri Lanka<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #800000;\">Source:<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cemnet.com\/news\/story\/149734\/kks-cement-factory-to-resume-operations-sri-lanka.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cemnet<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">THe Kankesanthurei Cement Factory (KKS), Sri Lanka\u2019s oldest cement plant, will resume operations before year-end under a programme to revive state ventures, according to Dr Willy Gamage State Resources and Enterprise Development Ministry Secretary<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In a interview with the Sri Lanka Sunday Observer, Mr Gamage and SJ Paranagama, Chairman of the Sri Lanka Cement Corporation (SLCC) discussed the project\u2019s progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Presently, there are two projects in the pipeline: one is the establishment of a cement packing plant which will be launched shortly.

The second project involves the recommissioning of the cement plant which will \u201crestore the past glory of the corporation,\u201d the executives stated. Both projects are scheduled to begin this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The demand for cement in Sri Lanka is increasing rapidly due to new infrastructure projects launched by the government and the private sector in the conflict-affected areas in the North and the East. The new housing development program also needs cement in large quantities. \u201cAs a State Corporation we have to supply cement to consumers at a reasonable price and also to look after the interest of the employees who are there for the last number of years,\u201d the Observer quoted them as saying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In terms of the market outlook, the interview stated: \u201cThe local cement market has now hit a target of 6.2Mta, some industry experts believe. The market is growing at the rate of 10 per cent per annum. There is large scope for the cement manufacturing industry in the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K.K.S.
