State imposes sweeping emergency powers

December 01, 2025

|

Daily FT

THE Government on Saturday issued an Extraordinary Gazette declaring a State of Public Emergency across the country.

In an Extraordinary Gazette published on 28 November under the Public Security Ordinance (Chapter 40), President Anura Kumara Dissanayake formalised a comprehensive set of emergency regulations titled Emergency (Miscellaneous Provisions and Powers) Regulations, No. 1 of 2025.

These regulations grant the authorities sweeping powers aimed at safeguarding national security, public order, and ensuring the delivery of essential services amid ongoing weather disaster conditions.

Under the new framework, the President may appoint by name or by office individuals or officials as “competent authorities” to carry out various emergency functions, either for the entire country or for specified areas. This delegation can also be extended to Ministers or other authorised persons as needed.
