COLOMBO: Grama Niladaris, with a record of 15 years of good service will be promoted to Grade 1 of the Grama Niladari Service, Public Administration and Home Affairs Minister Dr. Sarath Amunugama said.

The Ministry has already made arrangements to change the scheme of promotion of the Grama Niladari Service. There are 14,000 Grama Niladaris serving under the Local Government Ministry.

The creation of better promotional prospects to the Grama Niladari Service has become a vital factor as they are assigned to carry more difficult duties. The promotion would encourage them to work with commitment, the Minister said in a statement.

It added that Grama Niladaris have been instructed to be in their official attire during duty.
