Special Waste Management Initiative Launched for Vesak Celebrations

Date:

Coinciding with the State Vesak Festival in the Nuwara Eliya District, a special waste management initiative has been launched under the “Clean Sri Lanka” programme to ensure proper waste disposal and maintain cleanliness during the festival. This initiative aims to enhance facilities for devotees and preserve the aesthetic beauty of Nuwara Eliya, especially with the expected influx of hundreds of thousands of visitors from May 10 to 16.

The program will focus on high-traffic areas around the Gregory Lake, a popular tourist destination, and the Nuwara Eliya International Buddhist Centre, the main venue for the State Vesak Festival. The initiative also emphasizes the importance of minimizing waste by urging visitors not to bring non-biodegradable materials like polythene.

The “Clean Sri Lanka” programme calls on both locals and visitors to responsibly dispose of waste at designated locations to help maintain the sanctity and cleanliness of the environment during the Vesak celebrations. This initiative reflects the commitment to keeping the area pristine and fostering a cleaner, more sustainable environment for all.
