  • Projected Economic Growth in North & East Regions Will Be 13 Per Cent
    Published in Canada by The Times of Sri Lanka Vol.9 JUNE 2011 Projected economic growth in North & East regions will be 13 per cent over five years The economy of Sri Lanka’s once war-torn Northern and Eastern provinces are set to grow by around 13 percent per annum from 2011 onwards for the next five years, according to the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). CBSL Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal (inset) made these remarks in delivering the 60th Anniversary Oration of the CBSL a fortnight ago, on the topic of ‘Promoting financial inclusiveness – The experience of the past two years’. “There is a clear drive towards holistic development in the North and East to ensure that people sustain their economic achievements and translate them into a way of life. We expect that the range of investments made in these provinces will result in a growth rate of around 13 percent per annum in these provinces, from 2011 onwards for the next five years,” Cabraal said. According to the Governor, it has been encouraging to see that the Northern Province (NP) had recorded the highest nominal growth rate of 14% in 2009 ahead of all other Provinces although on a low base. The contribution to the country’s GDP by the NP increased to 3.3% in 2009 from 2.8% in 2006. The Eastern Province on the other hand recorded the second-highest nominal growth rate of all provinces, at 14% in 2009 while its contribution to the country’s GDP increased to 5.8% in 2009 from 4.9% in 2006.

Using statistical and historical analyses, this study examines patterns of election-related violence in the war-torn, ethnically divided context of Sri Lanka. This study shows that electoral violence in Sri Lanka is more often the result of inter- party and intra-ethnic competition than it is the result of inter-ethnic rivalries. Since most Sri Lankan districts are ethnically homogeneous and because the Sinhalese constitute the vast majority of the population, most electoral competition occurs between rival Sinhalese parties. Specifically, this dissertation demonstrates the significance of inter-party competition within one ethnic group by showing that there was generally more violence in areas where the vote differences between the top two contenders were smallest, even when both were from the same ethnic group.

The petitioner was, at the material time, a member of the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (The SLMC) which party together with the Sri Lanka Progressive Front formed “a new political alliance" called the National Unity Alliance (NUA) by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) dated 10th June, 1999. The NUA contested Parliamentary elections in October, 2000. The petitioner's name appeared on the nomination paper of the NUA at the aforesaid election for the Batticaloa District but he was presumably not eligible to be declared elected on the basis of preferences received by him at the poll. However, on a request dated 13th October, 2000, made by the 4th respondent (the Secretary-General of the SLMC) made in terms of the MoU between the SLMC and the NUA dated 13th August, 2000, the NUA nominated him as its Nationalist List member under Article 99A of the Constitution and the 9th respondent (the Commissioner of Elections) declared the petitioner as a Member of Parliament under that Article. By her letter dated 3rd July, 2001, the 1st respondent (the Leader of the NUA) informed the petitioner that he was expelled from the membership of the NUA with immediate effect and that as the petitioner represented the NUA in Parliament his explusion will be communicated to the 10th respondent (Secretary-General of Parliament) and the 9th respondent (the Commissioner of Elections).

[email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the political impacts of establishing the Kalmunai administrative district on the Muslim community in Sri Lanka. The demand for the Kalmunai administrative district has been at a societal level for the last 50 years but has only received political importance from 2000 onwards. However, the Muslims’ efforts to achieve the proposed administrative district have been met with extreme oppositions and criticisms expressed by other ethnic groups and certain major political parties. This scenario justifies an analytical study of the nature and extent of the political

    VOL 4 – PUBLISHED IN TORONTO, CANADA BY THE TIMES OF SRI LANKA JANUARY 2011 ISSUE JANUARY 2011 SSRRII LLAANNKKAA:: 22001100 TTOOUURRIISSTT AARRRRIIVVAALLSS TTOOTTAALL 665544,,447766 Twenty-six years of civil war and ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka contributed to the country’s sluggish tourism industry from that fateful day on July 23, 1983 to May 18, 2009. Sri Lanka was literally on siege during this period thus deterring the steady inflow of tourist traffic to the “Wonder of Asia”. Given the fact that tourists from the western hemisphere avoid travelling to countries with security issues, Sri Lanka tourism suffered for the better part of 26 years. The island nation lost its fair share of leisure tourist inflow. However, let’s not dwell on the past but look forward to a bright and rosy future going forward. There is no doubt that Sri Lanka is heading towards a tourism revolution. Once the country puts into place much needed tourism infrastructure coupled with a solid network of roads and highways in the eastern and northern provinces tourism is bound to experience an upward trend. In a remarkable turnaround last year, Sri Lanka has seen its tourist arrivals swell to large numbers in a short period in time of peace – 20 months. But the best is yet to come. Sri Lanka tourist arrivals up 46.1-pct in 2010 Tourist arrivals in November were startling - 72,251 tourists arrived in the country, a 63.1% increase as compared to the previous year. Sri Lanka Tourism (SLT) launched a campaign - Refreshingly Sri Lanka Visit Sri Lanka 2011 with 12 events spread across the year.
