Many of temples in North and East are facing difficulties with lack of drinking water and essential infrastructure and with their limited number of donors they are not in an economic status to achieve them. Accordingly, the proposal made by Hon. Wijayadasa Rajapaksa, Minister of Buddha Sasana, to develop sanitation facilities (lavatory facilities) in 100 selected temples using Rs. 20.24 million donated by Rev. Ming Sheng, Chairman of Gwandoon Buddhist Association, China, was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers.
