With Sri Lanka having an ineffective diplomatic mission in the United Arab Emirates, the Government has been compelled to use the services of a law firm to deal with matters relating to a most wanted person – Udayanga Weeratunga, former Ambassador to Russia.
Legal sources say that so far the Government has incurred more than US$ 300,000 as fees (Rs. 47 million) for the firm as efforts to seek the extradition of Mr. Weeratunga to Colombo continue.
The final rites of veteran broadcaster, writer, and lyricist Nirmala de Alwis will be held today at Peradeniya.
