New Laws To Avert Constructing Structures Near Power Lines

A new set of laws will be introduced to avert constructing structures near power lines. A law is already in effect to keep distance between the power lines and structures.

The regulations have been passed by the Minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya in accordance with the recommendations given by the Sri Lanka Public Utilities Commission. When obtaining approvals for the new constructions the clearance need to be obtained from the authorities in the future.
