Approval was granted by the Cabinet of Ministers at the cabinet meeting held on 12-10-2020 for the establishment of Sahasya Investment Company, with the objective of maintaining highways, determining strategic methods for further development of these expressways, and utilizing modern technologies for the minimization of costs.

Accordingly, approval was granted by the Cabinet of Ministers at the cabinet meeting held on 25-03-2024 for the formal assignment of daily operations and management of the
expressways to Sahasya Investment Company. However, Sahasya Investment Company has not implemented the relevant operations so far, and no activities relevant to the objectives of this company have been performed since its inception. The Road Development Authority has been assigned tasks such as planning, creation, construction, and maintenance of national roads and expressways by the Road Development Authority Act No. 73 of 1981.

Since the technological expertise necessary for the management of these assets, institutional capacity, and the vision for long-term asset management have been possessed by the aforementioned Authority, it has been recognized that the transfer of ownership and regulation of these assets to the Sahasya Investment Company by the Road Development Authority would exceed the legal authority provided to the Road Development Authority.

Therefore, taking these matters into account , the Cabinet of Ministers has approved the joint proposal presented jointly  by the President , in his capacity as the Minister of Finance, Planning, and Economic Development, and the Minister of Transport, Highways, and Urban Development, to liquidate the Sahasya Investment Company and to manage the network of expressways, associated lands, and other relevant activities through a separate operational unit under the Road Development Authority.

After three low scores, three tosses lost and three heavy defeats, Sri Lanka gave hosts India more of a fight in the fourth T20I on Sunday when they finally got to chase a target instead of setting one. They got somewhat close thanks to contribution from batters apart from Chamari Athapaththu. With their confidence running a little higher, they would want to sign off fromthis five match tour with one win as the preparations for the T20 World Cup, which is less than six months away, heat up.

India have been clinical all through the series – with their share of luck, having won the first three tosses – in restricting Sri Lanka to totals under 130 and getting home with at least five overs and seven wickets in hand. That presents Sri Lanka the opportunity to test India’s middle and lower order on Tuesday, but with the gargantuan task of going past the duo of Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, who put up India’s biggest partnership for any wicket to set up the hosts’ highest T20I total. India have had to use only five batters in this series so far.
