|October 22, 2025
PRESIDENT Anura Kumara Disanayake has issued a special gazette, dated 18 October 2025, redefining the functions and institutions coming under several ministries following the recent Cabinet reshuffle.
-
The reallocation marks one of the most extensive administrative reorganisations in recent years, affecting core areas such as defence, public security, finance, energy, and transport.
Under the new arrangement, the Civil Security Department (CSD) has been moved from the Ministry of Defence to the Ministry of Public Security, which also now oversees the Sri Lanka International Arbitration Centre and the Office of the Commissioner General of Rehabilitation.
The Ministry of Defence, in turn, has been assigned the National Hydrology Council and the Sri Lanka National Hydrology Office.
The Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Fiscal Management now includes Hotel Developers (Lanka) Ltd. and the Casino Regulatory Authority, consolidating oversight over key State enterprises and gaming regulation.
