Defence Secretary (Rtd.) General Shantha Kottegoda has told The Sunday Morning, “We have to organise security for the premises and the building. We also have to finalise safety measures and guidelines for the public.”
He has further noted that some final touches to the interior too needed to be completed.
As a result, the Colombo Lotus Tower would be available for public use within a period of two weeks.
The Tower was initially scheduled to be open to the public a week after it was declared open by President Maithripala Sirisena on September 16th.
In addition, Kottegoda said that restaurants and other facilities would be operational only after several months.
“Tenders have to be called for vendors. These things could take several months,” the Defence Secretary has said.
The need to further prepare security and safety measures at the Lotus Tower in Colombo has resulted in a further delay in opening the Tower to the public.
