The Government has decided to dissolve Local Government bodies on 10 January with elections slated to be called prior to March.

The decision was made at a special UPFA meeting held at the Temple Trees yesterday chaired by President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

The meeting was attended by all constituent party leaders of the government, a reliable source of the Government said.

Speculation was rife that polls to elect members to Municipal Councils, Urban Councils and Pradeshiya Sabas will be held on 30 March.
