Cabinet approval has been granted to utilise Galle Face Green for various social activities, including festivals, musical events and other celebrations, subject to specific criteria.
Cabinet Spokesman Minister Vijitha Herath explained today (Nov. 06) a previous Cabinet decision had declared not to allow events at the venue, except for religious events.
However, since it costs around Rs. 2.5 million – Rs. 3 million on a monthly basis to maintain this space, it was deemed appropriate to provide the space for events based on the concept of a ‘green and clean Galle Face Green’.
