Dialog Telekom unveils first digital clock tower

Dialog Telekom recently entered into an agreement with the Ministry of Local Government and Provincial Councils - as part of an urban development project – to introduce digital clock towers to the country.

Through the agreement Dialog Telekom will modernise existing clock towers and revamp them, including the roundabouts, thus providing a face lift to the centre of the towns.

In addition to fixing new digital clocks to the towers, the company said in a statement it will also paint, refurbish and beautify the surrounding area of the clock towers. This initiative will be carried out across 152 digital clock towers around the country.
The first digital clock tower was unveiled in Dambulla in the presence of Nushad Perera Chief Marketing Officer of Dialog Telekom and under the patronage of Janaka Bandara Tennakoon, Minister of Local Government and Provincial Councils, and K. G. Somathileke, Chairman of Dambulla Pradeshiya Sabha.

“Replacing analogue clock towers with digital ones is indeed a milestone for our country, and we are delighted to have initiated this landmark project today,” said Nushad Perera, Chief Marketing Officer, Dialog Telekom.
