Kelani Cables PLC has been organising ‘Kelani Wisura’ technical workshops for the benefit of local electricians, which could be identified as a golden opportunity. The workshops are held as a monthly event islandwide and have now surpassed participation of 15,000.

This landmark figure was achieved at the workshop held in Monaragala, which focused on teaching new techniques and methods in wire laying
