The Sri Lankan government is currently drafting the 19th amendment to the country's constitution, which will repeal powers that were granted to provincial councils under the previous 13th amendment, reported ColomboPage.
The new amendment was initally discussed late last year, as calls to abolish the island's 13th amendment grew, alongside cries to reign in powers vested to provincial councils.
Earlier this year, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa also rejected Tamil demands for autonomy.
