Talks end Kelaniya liquor ban

The ban on liquor sales in the Kelaniya electorate was lifted on Friday, following a meeting with the owners and the newly appointed Deputy Media Minister Meryvn Silva, who is the MP for the area.

Retail liquor sellers told the Sunday Times Mr. Silva had agreed to allow them to resume sales after they had talks with him.

Mr. Silva last week ordered the closure of all liquor outlets, saying he wanted to have Kelaniya declared a ‘Sacred City’. Mr. Silva was not available for comment yesterday as he was indisposed.
