This was revealed by the Deputy Minister of Buddhasasana, Religious and Cultural Affairs, Gamagedara Dissanayake, on January 23, while addressing Parliament.

 

Accordingly, he explained that the price for breakfast at the Parliament canteen will now be Rs. 600, while lunch will be increased to Rs. 1,200. Meanwhile, Rs. 200 will be charged for tea.

 

These new prices were scheduled to come into effect on February 01, 2025.
