A new program will be launched under the Postal Department to transform post offices in key cities into tourist attractions in Sri Lanka, Minister of Mass Media Nalinda Jayatissa said. 

Addressing the Parliament yesterday, Minister Jayatissa said that post offices in Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Colombo, and Galle have been identified for this purpose. 

He further said that plans are also underway to establish a museum near the main postal headquarters. 

Minister Jayatissa said that these measures are being taken to convert the Postal Department into a profit-making entity.

He added that the necessary funds have been allocated in the 2025 Budget for the development projects. (Newswire)
