Colombo, May 12 (Daily Mirror) - A total of 8,742 ‘Dansal’ stalls have been officially registered across Sri Lanka in celebration of Vesak, according to the Public Health Inspectors’ (PHI) Union.

As preparations continue, Rohana appealed to organisers to reduce the use of polythene and plastic in their food distribution efforts.
