A comprehensive tourism promotion plan covering three zones of the Central Province is being prepared, with the aim of developing biodiversity‑rich and culturally significant sites into attractive destinations. 

The initiative was discussed recently at the Central Province Governor’s Office under the chairmanship of Governor Professor S.B.S. Abeykoon, and attended by UNDP National Programme Manager Ashoka Ajanta.

The Central Provincial Council has identified several locations to be promoted as tourist attractions, with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Department of Tourism jointly implementing the plan. 

Areas recommended include Minipe, Panwila, Ududumbara, Medadumbara, Dambulla, Ambagamuwa, Norwood, Laggala‑Pallegama, and Maskeliya.

Officials said the program is expected to strengthen tourism across these zones, with local government institutions playing a key role in carrying out promotional activities. (Newswire)

The issuing of revenue licences for all vehicles registered in Sri Lanka will be implemented in the Central Province from September 01, the Central Province Transport Commissioner Parami Tannakoon stated. 

Accordingly, vehicles with registrations in other provinces will be able to obtain revenue licences from all Divisional Secretariats in the Central Province.

According to Lankadeepa, the revenue licences of the whole of Sri Lanka are to be linked to the Central Province through the new computer application launched for this purpose.

At present, revenue licences can be obtained only from the Divisional Secretariat of the Province where the vehicle has been initially registered. (NewsWire)
