The newly elected Executive Committee headed by Thilanga Sumathipala has decided to re-assess the projects based on the high cost involved in construction (Rs.248 million) and the space allocation at the respective venues. SLC will get the proper approvals from the relevant authorities and proceed with the work on the said projects on priority basis, SLC said.

SLC further said that the Central Engineering Consulting Bureau (CECB) has been advised to present the progress of construction carried out at R. Premadasa Stadium and a new Cost Estimate for the said project.

The ExCo is to study the new proposal from CECB and decide on the way forward which should not be too much of a strain for the finances of SLC.
