The inauguration of the annual Nawam Maha Perahara at the historic Oloboduwa Rajamaha Viharaya, Horana, took place yesterday (21) afternoon under the patronage of President Ranil Wickremesinghe.

According to President Ranil Wickremesinghe, the current tax policy in Sri Lanka is not a normal tax policy, but rather a rescue operation. He warned that if this process is disrupted, Sri Lanka will not be able to join the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program and may lose the opportunity to do business with foreign countries.

The Department of Official Languages compiled two books, "Sinhala Fonts" and "Tamil Fonts", which were presented to President Ranil Wickramasinghe at the Parliament premises (Feb-21) by Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena.

The Speaker Hon. Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana informed the House today (21) that Members have been nominated by the Committee of Selection to serve in the Committee on Ways and Means.
