වෙළඳ නාවික ලේකම් නාර්යාලය මගින් පැවැත් වීමට නියමිතව තිබූ විභාග කල් දැමීම

පැවති අයහපත් කාලගුණික තත්ත්වයහේතුවෙන් දෙසැම්බර් 1 වන දින සිට දෙසැම්බර් 15 වන දින දක්වා පැවැත්වීමට නියමිතව තිබූ සියලුම විභාග නැවත දැනුම් දෙන තුරු කල් දමා ඇති බව කරුණාවෙන් සලකන්න.

සංශෝධිත විභාග දිනයන් යථා කාලයේ දී ප්‍රකාශයට පත් කෙරේ.

මේ නිසා ඇති වූ අපහසුතාවයට අපි සමාව අයදින අතර ඔබේ අවබෝධයට ස්තූතියි.

 


 වෙළඳ නැව් ලේකම් කාර්යාලයෙන් සිදු විය හැකි සේවා ප්‍රමාදයන් පිළිබඳ මහජන නිවේදනය

මේ නිසා සිදුවන අපහසුතාවයට අපි සමාව අයදින අතර, හැකි ඉක්මනින් සාමාන්‍ය සේවාවන් නැවත ආරම්භ කිරීම සඳහා අවශ්‍ය කටයුතු කඩිනමින් සිදුකරමින් පවතින බව සේවාලාභීන්ට සහතික වෙමු.
