Chief Medical Officer of the CMC Dr. Ruwan Wijayamuni said that all dansel within the Colombo Municipal area should be registered with the Health Department of the CMC. Organizers should obtain their registration from the CMC Chief Public Health Inspector.

He said that this action has been taken to ensure food safety during the Wesak Week. Medical officers and PHIs would inspect the cleanliness of the kitchen, the water used, the process of dispatching garbage and the cleanliness of the people who prepare food. The operation of a dansala sans the permission of the CMC is prohibited.
