The Attorney General informed the Court of Appeal today (10 Feb) that the letter issued by the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) granting approval for a tourism promotion project targeting the LGBTQ community will be withdrawn.

This announcement was made during the hearing of a writ petition filed seeking an order to nullify the decision.

The court subsequently fixed the petition for further consideration on March 4. (Newswire)
