Election Commission Approves Reinstatement of Subsidies and Pension Benefits Post-Election Suspension

Date:

October 05, Colombo (LNW): The Election Commission has granted approval to reinstate several benefits that were temporarily suspended during the presidential election period, including the fertilizer subsidy for the Maha season, the fuel subsidy for fishermen, and increased pension allowances.

In an official media release, the Commission confirmed that the increased pension benefits will be paid in October, along with arrears from September. They also urged the public not to be misled by false claims suggesting that these allowances would not be disbursed.

Additionally, the Commission highlighted the need for approval before making any recruitment, promotions, transfers, or restrictions concerning officials and employees. This step is intended to prevent the misuse of state resources during the upcoming parliamentary elections.
