The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRSL) has unveiled a programme of addressing human rights issues at the regional level. The aim of this programme is to sort out complaints through regional committees before they reach the Commission. The Government Information Department said that the first stage of establishing these Committees was launched in the Ampara District. The Committees comprise state officials as well as Civil Committee officers. These are being established in every Divisional Secretariat Division. The Ampara District programme commenced under the patronage of Nimal G. Punchihewa, the Legal Adviser of the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka.
The Department of National Zoological Gardens is readying enclosures to quarantine two large tortoises that were found stranded 15 kilometers westwards off Pitipana Negombo, today.
