The Public Health Inspectors Union Sri Lanka says the registration of Vesak Dansal will commence from Monday (04) in preparation for the upcoming Vesak celebrations.
Union Secretary Chamil Muthukuda stated that the registration process will be conducted through public health offices across the island.
He noted that the Ministry of Health Sri Lanka has already issued a special set of guidelines for organising Dansal, and urged organisers to consult Public Health Inspectors for the necessary instructions and health requirements.
Muthukuda also revealed that 382 Dansal were held islandwide for the Poya Day observed yesterday (01), with registrations for those events already completed.
This year, the month of May includes two Full Moon Poya days. Although May 1 was initially observed as Vesak Poya Day, the government later declared May 30 as the official Vesak Poya Day following consultations with the Chief Prelates of the three Buddhist Chapters.
Accordingly, yesterday (01) was observed as Adhi Vesak Poya Day.
