Initially the collection of information of all citizens in the Western Province is currently taking place according to the State Defence Ministry's regulations.
The Defence Ministry has launched the collection of citizen data thus for the security of citizens and properties of the Western Province.
Therefore facilities have now been provided for citizens to submit the required information by using the internet free of charge at the 'Nenasalas', the rural information technology centres, which have been set up under the "e-Sri Lanka" initiative.
Accordingly the operators of the 'Nenasalas' set up in the Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara districts will assist the citizens in these areas to submit their particulars to the Defence Ministry through the internet.
