Hospital Notice in 8 Languages but Not in Tamil

When the Budget debate on Ministry of National Co-existence, Dialogue and Official Languages was taken up yesterday in Parliament, JVP MP Bimal Ratnayake said, when he went to a leading hospital Narahenpita, he has seen notices written in 8 languages. He was surprised to see the notices in 8 languages. He carefully looked for Tamil language, but it was not there among the 8 languages. Tamil is one of the Official languages in Srilanka. Further, most of the patients visiting this leading hospital are Tamil speaking people. Hence, he requested the Minister to look into this short comings even in the private sector for the benefit of the public.
