The Minister of National languages and Social Integration Vasudeva Nanayakkara said that several incorrect name boards have been placed in certain areas in Colombo while others are exclusively in English. He said this has caused great inconvenience to the public especially those from the North and East visiting Colombo.

The Minister said that as such name boards should be displayed at least in Sinhala and Tamil where inclusion of English is not possible.

The Department of Official Languages will help institutions to write name boards in all three languages with proper spelling.
