State Minister for Mass Media Shantha Bandara announced that despite April 12 being a public holiday, all postal workers have agreed to work on that day to handle the significant volume of goods received by the Central Postal Exchange during the New Year season, for the first time in its history. He noted that this decision was made to accommodate the surge in demand for postal services during this festive period.

Rainy condition is expected to temporarily enhance over the island from tomorrow (11).

The Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena said that remedies will be taken to cope with difficulties faced by elderly artistes. He made these comments while participating in the ceremony held at Temple Trees (08.04.2024) to enrol artistes who have newly applied for the retirement programme for aged artists that is implemented by the Tower Hall Theater Foundation, and presenting them gifts for the New Year.
