| Public Security Minister Ananda Wijepala |
Public Security Minister Ananda Wijepala this week told Parliament that emergency regulations are expected to remain in force for a further two months.
He said the extension is required as the Government proceeds with relocating families displaced by Cyclone Ditwah. Wijepala noted that resettlement in certain areas will depend on approvals from the National Building Research Organisation, which must assess ground conditions before displaced residents can return.
