Ampara Council Urges Efficient Energy Use.

The Ampara Attalaischenai Council has issued strict guidelines urging the efficient use of electricity and fuel across its offices, libraries, and public sports grounds. Council Commissioner A.S.M. Uvais emphasized that these measures aim to reduce resource wastage and lower the council’s financial burden during current challenging conditions.

Officials and staff have been instructed to switch off unnecessary lights and fans in offices and libraries when not in use. Additionally, natural daylight should be maximized to minimize electrical consumption. At public sports grounds, floodlights should only be used for essential activities and switched off immediately after events conclude.

For fuel consumption, the council advised minimizing unnecessary travel and careful use of council-owned vehicles and machinery. Commissioner Uvais further requested that both departmental staff and the public actively cooperate with these energy and fuel efficiency measures to support sustainable operations. These steps reinforce the council’s commitment to responsible resource management and financial prudence while promoting community participation in energy conservation initiatives.
