A garment factory in the Katunayake Free Trade Zone that employed about 2000 persons has been closed down indefinitely from today (20).
The factory, identified as 'NEXT,' was a British investment and had been functioning since 1978, employees said.
They said the management had sent a note to staff saying they have been forced to close down as they can no longer sustain the production costs in Sri Lanka.
The factory's gates are now shut, with only security officers still present.

The Government of Sri Lanka maintains that the allegation of genocide during the final phase of the conflict in Sri Lanka is unsubstantiated by any credible authority, either nationally or internationally, and is based on misleading information. Sri Lanka firmly rejects this false narrative and believes it has been propagated primarily for electoral gains within Canada.
