The Sinhala establishment has been long planning to link its Colombo and Gampha regions with Trincomalee through an Economic Corridor linking Kurunegala, Matale, Anuradhapura, Dambulla, and Harbarana. A blue-print to this effect was ���developed��� by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2017 and the project was named ���Colombo Trincomalee Economic Corridor��� - CTEC. The UNP regime has also added Mannaar as a component following India's intervention. As a result, the unitary state of genocidal Sri Lanka is extending its Sinhalicisation agenda also to Mannaar.
