President briefs Mahanayakes on situation

President Mahinda Rajapaksa paid homage to the sacred Tooth Relic yesterday and later called on the Mahanayake Theras of the Asgiriya and Malwatte chapters to brief them on the political and security situation in the country.

The Mahanayakes agreed to a proposal by the President to conduct an all night pirith chanting ceremony to invoke blessings on the country, the government and the armed forces.

Central Province Governor Tikiri Kobbekaduwa, Chief Minister Sarath Ekanayake and Diyawadana Nilame Nilanga Dela Bandara were associated with the President during his visit to Kandy.
