Dr. Senesh Bandara Dissanayake, the Chairman of Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC), has announced his resignation just three months after assuming the role under the new National People’s Power (NPP) government.
In a statement shared on social media, Dissanayake clarified that his tenure was always intended to be temporary. “I only accepted this role for three months, and it is now time for me to step aside,” he said, thanking the staff and stakeholders for their cooperation during his short stint.
Dissanayake was appointed to lead the national broadcaster following Presents Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s victory in the recent elections. His appointment was part of a broader effort by the government to restructure state media institutions and promote independent journalism.
