Sri Lanka's Buddhasasana minister Dr Hiniduma Sunil Senevi has appointed 19 Sinhala members to the island's Archaeology Advisory Committee, amidst ongoing efforts by Sri Lanka to colonise the North-East.
A gazette, issued earlier this month, states that the committee would include Buddhist monks, professors and researchers in archaeology. They will hold their positions from March 10, 2025 until March 9 2027.
