The latest addition to the Mahavamsa, the great chronicle, relating to modern history of Sri Lanka from 1978 to 2010 will go into printing, the progress report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wayamba Development and Cultural Affairs which was presented to Parliament recently had revealed.

According to the report, it will contain information with regard to the periods of Late President J. R. Jayawardene, Ranasinghe Premadasa, and former Presidents Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and Mahinda Rajapaksa. Accordingly it is likely that the details on the war would be included in the latest version of Mahavamsa. (YP)
