Ports and Shipping Minister Arjuna Ranatunga yesterday advised officials to re-open the Dondra lighthouse to the public on May 4, Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA) Media Secretary MP Thameera Manju said.
He said the minister informed the officials to complete the renovations and re-open the lighthouse for public viewing.
The opening ceremony would take place under the patronage of Minister Ranatunga, Deputy Minister Nishantha Muttuhettigama, SLPA Chairman Dhammika Ranatunga and several other distinguished guests, Manju said.
He said the lighthouse was renovated by the SLPA in 2000 and it was not open to the public thereafter as the route to the area was unapproachable and also due to security based issues.
