Over 1500 Army, Navy, Air Force, Civil Defence Service and Police personnel attended the Dhamma sermon ceremony at night.
On the following day (10), as part of the temple’s routine programme, more than 300 officers and other ranks serving the 22 Division observed ‘Sil’ and attended a series of merit invoking observances. Ven Thalagala Sumanarathana Thero, Ven Dehiowita Piyatissa Thero and Ven Bathalagoda Abeytissa Thero contributed to the conduct of the day’s programme.
