Prowess on the green was amply seen as H.M.D. Bandaranayake emerged as the Overall Winner (Ladies) and Manjula Chandrasoma, the Overall Winner (Men’s). Both were Gross Winners and Nett Winners – the former under the Ladies Senior Division and the latter under Division A. Bandaranayake had a score of 65 nett while Chandrasoma scored 64 Nett.

With CDB’s commitment to sustainable mobility solutions, it has become imperative to partner entities that prompt informed decision making and would influence the practice and use of green transport solutions. CDB’s eShift, which accelerates sustainable mobility solutions in Sri Lanka is well aligned with the RCGC membership who are equally committed to ‘going green’. The CDB collaboration with the RCGC therefore is one that is not just a commitment to inducing the importance of green mobility for the country, but also one that will be a channel to create a collective of strong proponents of sustainable mobility solutions driving goals for a greener planet.
