The Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC) has been taken under the Ministry of Defence (MOD) following a gazette notification issued last night.
The SLRC is assigned under the Ministry of Defence with effect from midnight yesterday (9).
The move comes as the Elections Commission prepares to call for Presidential elections.
The Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation was earlier under the Ministry of Mass Media which is under the purview of Non Cabinet Minister Ruwan Wijewardene. However, it is now under the purview of the President, who is also the Defence Minister.
There has been a continuous controversy over the post of SLRC Chairman with Minister Wijewardene attempting to appoint a new Chairman to the institution while incumbent Chairman Enoka Sathyangani has refused to vacate office.
