SLRC goes bankrupt just before New Year season
Production of 24 programs telecast on the state owned Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC) have been suspended from yesterday (05) until further notice.
Measures have also been taken to temporarily suspend all programs produced by channels – ‘Nethra’ and ‘Channel Eye’.
Although the situation has been blamed on the prevailing fuel and electricity crisis, the real reason behind this is said to be SLRC reaching the state of bankruptcy.Speaking to ‘Sri Lanka Mirror’ SLRC employees have blamed the incumbent chairman – Sonala Gunawardena’s short sighted decisions for this situation, which had taken place in less than 03 months since him taking up the job.
