He outlined postal modernization, profitability, and a review of the post and sub-post office structure as key objectives.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, our network of post offices, sub post offices and staff is strong, but many profitable services were removed from the postal domain. We are working to bring them back, though constrained by vehicle fleets and staffing; we are seeking approvals and funding to renew vehicles. Our objective is postal modernization and to make the Department profitable. With support already forthcoming, we will review the structure of post and sub post offices accordingly.
