Public encounters with Mayoral candidate
To give an opportunity to the voters of the Colombo City to initiate a dialogue particularly with the Mayoral candidates of the three main political parties UPFA, UNP and JVP, the Centre for Society and Religion (CSR) is making arrangements to provide a platform for them so that they could interact together towards the solution of the numerous problems that confront the City.

The contesting political parties will present their proposals or election manifestos on separate days. Ten problem areas that are related to social justice in the City have been selected for such a dialogue, namely: Social Justice in the City; Poverty Alleviation; Health and Environment; Common Amenities; and Budget of CMC Urban Planning.

They will be held on Tuesday April 25 and Wednesday, April 26 and again on May 2, 3, 9 and 10. These sessions will be held in the CSR premises from 3 to 5 p.m. and are open to the general public and the media.

UPFA mayoral candidate Vasudeva Nanayakkara and the UNP’s Sirisena Cooray will be among those facing public questions on how they intend to eradicate poverty and bring justice to all the people of Colombo.
