President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has instructed the Provincial Governors to submit a fresh proposal to regulate the Provincial Council mechanism.
The President issued these instruction during a meeting held with Governors this morning, the President’s Media Division (PMD) said.

Urging the Governors to make all possible economic and social interventions to improve the living conditions of the public, the President noted of the importance of establishing a new political culture.
President Dissanayake also reminded the Governors to avoid previous poor practices in the use of state assets and to remain committed to delivering quality public service.
Attention was drawn to existing vacancies in the health and education sectors under the Provincial Councils, with decisions made to find viable solutions, the PMD said.
The meeting included discussions on the lands in the Northern and Eastern provinces as well as finance, the statement said.
