Sri Lanka's President Maithripala Sirisena has taken key responsibilities from the defence ministry.
The move means the number of institutions under the control of State Minister for Defence Ruwan Wijewardene have been drastically reduced.
President Sirisena is now in control of ten defence institutions, including the armed forces, only leaving the minister with four institutions, the Rana Viru Seva Authority (veteran welfare), the Defence Services College, Defence Services Command and Staff College and the National Cadet Corp, reported
