TRCSL rightfully moved back to Technology Ministry

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka (TRCSL) has been placed under the purview of the Ministry of Technology through the issuance of an Extraordinary Gazette with the effect from 27 October.

The Telecommunication Regulatory Commission of Sri Lanka was previously under the purview of the Ministry of Defence.

The relevant extraordinary gazette notification has been issued by the President Ranil Wickremesinghe with powers vested in him under Paragraph (1) (a) of Article 44 of the Constitution.

The moves aims to promote sustained development in the telecommunication industry by shaping the regulatory process, protecting public interest and being responsive to challenges in an increasingly competitive market, expansion of digital technology ventures and provide technical assistance to relevant Ministries for developing Green Technology Projects.
