In a bold move to revolutionize public hygiene and convenience, the “Clean Sri Lanka” initiative has officially entered the nation’s fuel stations, launching a large-scale project to install modern sanitation facilities across the island.
At a special ceremony held at the Presidential Secretariat, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Clean Sri Lanka Presidential Task Force, the Ministry of Energy, and Sri Lanka’s four major fuel suppliers: Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC), Lanka IOC (LIOC), Sinopec Energy Lanka, and RM Parks.
The goal? To transform 540 fuel stations into clean, safe, and disability-accessible sanitation hubs over the next three years starting with 100 fully equipped locations by the end of 2025.
Presidential Secretary Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake praised the initiative as a milestone in sustainable public service and a powerful example of public-private partnership at work. “This isn’t just an agreement it’s a promise for a clean, healthy, and proud Sri Lanka,” he declared.
Energy Ministry Secretary Prof. Udayanga Hemapala, Senior Additional Secretary to the President Russell Aponsu, and top executives from the nation’s fuel giants were present to witness the signing, signaling high-level support for the hygiene overhaul.
The project also aims to expand beyond fuel stations, with plans to introduce similar sanitation upgrades at supermarkets and private institutions in the near future.
With the groundwork now laid, Sri Lanka is shifting gears literally and figuratively—toward a cleaner tomorrow.
