International Observance Day
This follows the recognition of the Vesak Full-moon day as an International Day by the United Nations since 2000. No request for written undertaking The Sunday Times of May 2, 2004 carries a lead story headlined 'Oslo wants UPFA assurance in writing'. This story talks of a Norwegian request for a written undertaking from the Government on the format and the basis on which it wants the peace talks resumed. A press release issued by the Presidential Secretarial yesterday states: "Similar articles appear in yesterday's issues of the Lakbima, Sudar Oli and Thinakkural. The President's Office wishes to emphasise that at no point did the Norwegian facilitators make such a request. It is regrettable that the said newspapers have thought it fit to concoct such an untruth on a sensitive national issue as the peace process." Motorcyclist dies in accident A motorcyclist who sustained head injuries when his cycle crashed with a van died at the ICU of the Colombo National Hospital. The incident took place at Helagala on the Colombo-Kandy road. The victim, Lekamlage Pushpasiri Dayaratne (40) is a resident of Ambepussa. |
