| Four officials appointed to inspect drugs and cosmetics |
|
 |
|
 The Ministry of Health says it has appointed four officials with the authority to inspect drugs and cosmetics which are to be sold at any location in the country.
Four drug and food inspection officials have been appointed with authority of the drug supplies and technical division, under the Cosmetics, Devices and Drugs Act (No. 27 of 1980), Director of the National Cosmetics Devices and Drugs Regulatory Authority Dr. Hemantha Benaragama said.
Pointing out that currently food drug inspectors only have authority to inspect drugs, cosmetic products and food items within their jurisdiction, Dr. Benaragama stated that these four authorized officials can carry out inspections in any part of the country.

| Dharmadasa defends Marsh sacking |
|
|
|
 Sri Lanka Cricket president Upali Dharmadasa on Friday defended the sacking of Australian coach Geoff Marsh and the selection of a new team captain, saying the changes would help usher in a new era of “cricketing excellence”.
“Many seem to criticize Sri Lanka Cricket for the Changes we implemented by appointing a New Captain, Coach, Team Manager and the Selection Committee. We would like to assure the Cricket loving public here in Sri Lanka and to our numerous fans that support Sri Lanka Cricket globally that we will reap the benefits of these changes in the fullness of time,” he said in a statement.
The sacking of Marsh on Wednesday - just three months into a two-year contract - was widely criticised, with former team skipper Arjuna Ranatunga calling the move “disgraceful” and “unprofessional”.
Marsh was replaced by South African Graham Ford, who becomes Sri Lanka’s fourth coach since Australian Trevor Bayliss stepped aside after the World Cup final in April 2011.
While voicing gratitude for Marsh’s efforts, Dharmadasa said it was time for Sri Lankan cricket to “move on”.
The appointment of Ford was “based on the fact that he can cope with the demands a 21st Century coach has to cope with in the international arena”, the statement said.
The change in coaches came two days after Tillakaratne Dilshan quit as team captain, to be replaced by former skipper Mahela Jayawardene.
“This change will also help Dilshan to concentrate more on his game,” Dharmadasa said.
“We strongly believe Dilshan’s contribution will be much more if he is relived of additional responsibility. This will help the teams overhaul performance.”
Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage last week named a four-member selection panel and gave them one year to put the team in order after the side lost Test and one-day series to England, Australia, Pakistan and South Africa.
“We are grateful to the government and the Honorable Minister of sports for helping Sri Lanka Cricket through stormy waters. We assure you the current crisis as defined by some, is only temporary, financially we will be stable shortly,” the country’s cricket chief added.

| Captaincy only for short time: Jayawardene |
|
|
|
.jpg) Mahela Jayawardene on Thursday said he has taken up the Sri Lanka captaincy for a short term and rejected rumours that there was an internal bickering in the side.
"I took up the captaincy once again, for one-year. Our target is to win matches, to regain our place as one of the top-four Test playing nations," Jayawardene told reporters in Colombo.
"We have failed as a team in the past. But we have to look beyond that and move forward. We face India and Australia next month. We need to take the positives from South Africa and focus on winning matches again."
Jayawardene captained the team between 2006 and 2009 before making way to Kumar Sangakkara.
Immediately after Sri Lanka's loss to India in the world cup final last April, both of them resigned leading to Thilakaratne Dilshan's appointment as captain.
Jayawardene dismissed rumours that internal politics between players had affected the team morale, leading to defeats.
"Kumar (Sangakkara) is the number one batsman in the world. It is ridiculous to think that he would under-perform due to internal politics," Jayawardene said.
Responding to Sri Lankan decision to sack Geoff Marsh as coach and replace him with Graham Ford, Jayawardene said "That is not my area. That is up to the selectors. My focus is to work with what I have got. Graham is experienced, and we need his services to rebuild, harness new players and win games.
The outgoing captain Dilshan said Marsh gave more than 100 per cent" to the team and declined to comment further on the issue.
Asked about his sacking as captain, Dilshan said he had been only picked captain until the South African tour and he was happy to see Jayawardene back as captain.

 National Transport Commission (NTC) Chairman Shashi Welgama yesterday said he was resigning from the NTC to focus on other interests in the midst of charges by private bus operators who claimed that Welgama had chosen to resign as he was unfit for the position.
Welgama told the Daily Mirror he was leaving the NTC to focus on other ventures and had requested permission from Private Transport Services Minister C.B. Ratnayake to permit him to resign on four separate occasions in the past. “I have enjoyed working with the Minister as it has been a pleasure but I have now chosen to resign,” Welgama said.
Commenting on claims by private bus operators who said he was not fit for the position of NTC chief, Welgama said that it was not the reason for his decision to resign. “It is a lot of pressure to juggle the responsibilities but there have been other problems,” he said(source:
