Cabinet approval has been granted to re-enact legalisation to restore the status of Sri Lanka's ancient martial art of Angampora.
Minister of Housing and Construction Sajith Premadasa speaking to media following a Cabinet meeting, said the restrictions that were once imposed on this ancient martial art have been removed and it was permitted from today (March 6) for it to be recognised as a legitimate martial art form.
