A special technical project aimed at cleaning Colombo’s Beira Lake by introducing seawater into the lake is set to commence as an immediate and short-term solution.
Sri Lankan business tycoon and engineer Nahil Wijesuriya has reportedly agreed to provide full financial support for the initiative.
The project will be jointly implemented by the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC), the Urban Development Authority (UDA), and the Sri Lanka Land Development Corporation (SLLDC).
Meanwhile, long-term measures to maintain the cleanliness and aesthetic value of Beira Lake are expected to be carried out through allocations provided under this year’s government budget.
The initiative was discussed during a special meeting held today (09) at the Hunupitiya Gangaramaya Temple, chaired and guided by its Chief Incumbent, Venerable Dr. Kirinde Assaji Thera.
Representatives from both the public and private sectors participated in the meeting to discuss the Beira Lake Immediate Clean-Up Project and explore the implementation of future phases.
Further discussions were also held on the next steps required to continue the restoration and improvement of the lake.
