NPC's battle with Governor hots up

The tussle between the TNA-controlled Northern Provincial Council and Governor G.A. Chandrasiri has intensified.

The Council adopted a resolution this week calling for the cancellation of recent appointments made by retired Major General Chandrasiri.

It is not immediately clear how the Council would give effect to the resolution. The appointments in question, the Governor has argued, were in keeping with the legal powers he enjoys.
