Large-scale renovations have commenced at the Parliament of Sri Lanka, after four decades

According to a Parliament statement, renovations of the Sri Lanka Parliamentary Complex are taking place after a period of more than 42 years.

The renovation work is being carried out under Cabinet approval and on the instructions of Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne.

Accordingly, work is currently underway to remove the soil layer on the concrete roof terrace of the Parliamentary Complex and carry out repairs. 

In addition, renovations are being done to the roof gutters, copper door, Parliament Medical Centre, washrooms, and Members’ Dressing Room.

Previously, minor maintenance work of the Parliamentary Complex was carried out by the Engineering Department. 

However, the large-scale renovations are being carried out with the labour contribution of the Sri Lankan Army. (Newswire)
