Sarath Illangasinghe replaced H. B. Samasinghe as North Central Province (NCP) Irrigation, Land, Rural Development and Women’s Affairs Minister.

This comes in the wake of Susil Gunaratne being appointed Transport, Sports, Youth Affairs, Trade, Food, Cooperatives and Industries Minister yesterday.

He filled the seat left vacant by S. M. Ranjith who resigned in the wake of Herath Bandara being appointed to the seat held by K. H. Nandasena.

K. H. Nandasena was previously Health and Indigenous Medicine Minister for the North Central Province.
