The Galle Face Green is reserved for religious and leisure time activities

The Galle Face Green is going to be reserved as a place for the public only for leisure hours. The Cabinet has given the nod for the proposal.

 

Sri Lanka Port Authority has taken the charge of the development of Galle Face Green under a Corporate Social Speaking (CSR) project, with an expenditure of around Rs.220 million.

 

According to Minister Bandula Gunawardena, the total amount of money spent for the restoration of the damaged properties during the “Aragalaya” protest movement has accumulated to Rs. 6.6 million.

 

Thus, The Galle Face Green is going to be used only for public leisure time activities and religious customs starting from April 20, 2023. No one is therefore permitted to organize musical shows or political gatherings at the Galle Face Green premises.
