President Anura Kumara Dissanayake is scheduled to visit Nuwara Eliya today (11) to inaugurate the Central Province programme of the “A Nation United” national campaign, according to the President’s Media Division (PMD).
During the visit, the President is also expected to participate in several events in Nuwara Eliya.
The “A Nation United” initiative was launched with the aim of eradicating the illicit drugs menace in Sri Lanka. The drug problem has been identified as a significant social issue affecting the up-country community.
According to the PMD, the programme seeks to free communities from the threat of illicit drugs through a comprehensive awareness mechanism involving all stakeholders, while also supporting their social and economic upliftment.
The event in Nuwara Eliya will also include the recognition of 62 police officers who have actively contributed to raids and operations related to illicit drugs.
