🚨 Temporary Halt to Key Online Govt Services Due to LGC Disruption

A disruption in the Lanka Government Cloud (LGC) has temporarily affected several vital government online services. Engineers from ICTA and the service provider are actively working to restore full service capacity. • Cause: Disruption in the Lanka Government Cloud (LGC) infrastructure. • Key Services Affected: • Birth, Marriage, and Death (BMD) Certificate System (Registrar General’s Dept). • e-Revenue License System (eRL 2.0) (Provincial Depts of Motor Traffic, except Western Province). • Police Clearance System. • Country of Origin Certificate Issuance Online System (Dept of Commerce). • Affected Websites: Includes those of the Department of Meteorology, Registrar of Companies, and SL Accounting and Auditing Standards Board. • Mitigation: The Registrar General’s Dept confirms BMD copies can be obtained manually from the original issuing Divisional Secretariat in the interim. • Outlook: Restoration is the highest priority. Future capacity and operational constraints are expected to be eased through the ongoing execution of the next phase of LGC expansion, which commenced in October 2025.
