Land Demarcation Commission Chairman Asoka Peiris said he expects to hand over the completed demarcation report to Local Government and Provincial Council Minister Faiszer Mustapha by December 27.
Finance State Minister Lakshman Yapa Abeywardana said last week that if the delimitation committee report was submitted to Minister Mustapha before December 31, and no one challenged the recommendations in it, Local Government elections could be held in the first quarter of 2017.
