The Circular on re-calling public servants for work from Monday (August 02) has been published by Secretary to the Ministry of Public Services, Provincial Councils & Local Government J.J. Rathnasiri.

The government on Friday (July 30) decided to call all state sector employees back to work from next month and Secretary to President, P.B. Jayasundera officially informed the decision to Mr. Rathnasiri.
