All sports activities in schools have been suspended for two days in view of heat waves.
The Ministry of Education (MoE) has directed all relevant schools to abstain from requiring children to participate in physically demanding outdoor activities until Friday (Mar. 1) since it is predicted that the current high temperatures will continue to rise.
Sports Day activities, sports practices, and any other planned outdoor activities are therefore requested to be postponed for the time being, the Ministry said.
According to the Ministry, school principals have been instructed to get a briefing on the topic from the provincial and zonal authorities of education.
Furthermore, school administrators are required to adhere to the health guidelines released by the Ministry of Health and Education on Monday (Feb. 26).
The MoE’s list of guidelines is attached below:
Public Security Minister Ananda Wijepala told Parliament today that the suspect in the rape of a lady doctor at the Anuradhapura teaching hospital has been identified as an army deserter and he will be apprehended shortly.
Police have arrested the suspect connected to the sexual assault on a female doctor at the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital today morning in Galnewa.
The Dutch Public Prosecutor suspects two companies of paying bribes in the construction of hospitals in Sri Lanka, according to an investigation by FD, the Dutch financial newspaper.
The Government today tabled in the House the Report of the Commission to Inquiry into the Establishment and Maintenance of Unlawful Places of Detention and Torture Chambers in the Batalanda Housing Scheme.
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he wholly rejects the Batalanda Commission report and that it was appointed wholly with the intention slinging political mud at him.
Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) and one time Propaganda Secretary of the JVP Wimal Weerawansa accused the Government of bringing back the “Batalanda Commission” for a media spectacle instead of a genuine concern for those who suffered during the 1988-1990 period.
