Government offices across Sri Lanka will remain open as usual on April 15, 16, and 17, the Ministry of Public Administration, Provincial Councils and Local Government has announced.
The Ministry stated that public sector employees were granted only two days of leave—Monday and April 14—in view of the Sinhala and Hindu New Year celebrations.
Meanwhile, the National Transport Commission (NTC) confirmed that bus services resumed from this morning (15) to facilitate passengers returning to work following the festive period.
