President Anura Kumara Dissanayake announced that the government will launch the “Clean Sri Lanka” initiative, a nationwide program aimed at improving cleanliness and environmental responsibility throughout the country.
He introduced the plan during a political rally, outlining a vision to transform Sri Lanka into a symbol of cleanliness over the coming years.
The initiative focuses on preserving the country’s natural beauty and maintaining cleanliness in public spaces. Key aspects of the program include efforts to protect coastal areas, prevent littering, and clean up public spaces like marketplaces and intersections.
Dissanayake emphasized the importance of fostering a culture that respects the environment and prioritizes sustainability.
The president also expressed optimism about Sri Lanka’s potential as a leading tourist destination, aiming to attract a record number of visitors by 2025. “If there are no adverse impacts on global tourism, 2025 will be a record year for tourism in Sri Lanka,” he said.
The “Clean Sri Lanka” program comes as the country seeks to boost its appeal to tourists while improving the quality of life for its citizens. With this initiative, the government hopes to foster a shift toward greater environmental awareness and responsibility among the population. (NewsWire)
