People must determine the difference they want to make in their own spaces. Sensitivity and quality service to the public are of utmost importance, ensuring satisfaction with the services provided. This is not a transformation that can be achieved solely through official directives or circulars,\u201d the Prime Minister stated.<\/p>\n<p>The government remains committed to ensuring the success of the \u201cClean Sri Lanka\u201d program, engaging all stakeholders in fostering a cleaner, more organized, and community-driven future, she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya has underscored the importance of implementing the &ldquo;Clean Sri Lanka&rdquo; program with humanitarian objectives at its core.
