A new location which is in line with the developing world will be provided for youth to carry out their Aragalaya, Presidential advisor Sagala Ratnayake said yesterday.   

 Accordingly, he said a location near the Floating Market in Pettah will be given for the Aragalaya shortly.    “This centre will have facilities for art exhibitions, literature festivals, IT technology and a facility for conferring,” Mr. Ratnayake said.   

He said this will also help to get a commercial value for the abilities and talents of the youth. Those youth who were engaged in protests are ones with many abilities and this new centre will facilitate further development of these skills. He recalled how the youth used modern technology such as three dimensional effects at the Presidential Secretariat.   
“The plans to develop this centre will be handed over to President Ranil Wickremesinghe soon,” he added.    He said some of the Aragala youth who had met President Wickremesinghe has welcomed the move.
