Battle over TV in Parliament control room
CEB staff attached to Parliament are furious that the television set kept for their use in their room had been removed by the Co-ordinating Engineer of Parliament last week after he found Parliament staff members also watching the Sri Lanka-Bangladesh test match.

After the engineer found Parliament staff members watching the match, he had sent a letter to the Electrical Superintendent questioning why he was allowing everyone to watch TV in the room allocated to the CEB.

In turn, the CEB official had pasted the letter on the door of the room to keep others informed that they were not welcome to watch TV there anymore.
The engineer who was angered at seeing his letter so displayed had removed the TV set from the room.

The CEB staff who are on duty round the clock, on shift basis, and are allocated a separate control room along with a TV set because of the nature of their work, say they will lodge a protest with the concerned authorities shortly.
