Tri Forces and CSD Spearhead Clean-up Initiative at
Beira Lake Under ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ Project
February 06, 2025
The Tri Forces and the Civil Security Department (CSD) conducted a clean-up drive jointly with Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) and the Western Province Waste Management Authority at Beira Lake and its surrounding this morning (Feb 6), as part of the government’s on-going ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ initiative.
This special program aims to restore and maintain the cleanliness of Beira Lake, a significant water body in the heart of Colombo. The clean-up efforts are particularly focused on the area surrounding Gangaramaya Seema Malaka, a key tourists attraction that draws both local and international visitors daily, especially those eager to witness the stunning sunset views.
The initiative was launched following a brief discussion at Gangaramaya Temple attended by the Governor of the Western Province and officials from various government bodies, including the Presidential Task Force of the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ project, Ministry of Environment, CMC and the Western Province Waste Management Authority and the non-governmental stakeholders such as Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and John Keells Holdings PLC.
The clean - up operation is covering key sections of Beira Lake, specifically along Nawam Mawatha, Perahera Mawatha and the Colombo - Batticaloa Highway.
This collaborative effort highlights the commitment of the Tri Forces and CSD to environmental conservation and urban beautification, aligning with the broader goals of the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ initiative.
