Sri Lanka’s first ever digital clock tower
In addition to fixing new digital clocks to the towers, the Company will also paint, refurbish and beautify the surrounding area of the clock towers. This initiative will be carried out across 152 digital clock towers around the country. As part of this effort Dialog Telekom will be responsible for renovating, maintaining and servicing of the digital clock towers.
The first digital clock tower was unveiled in Dambulla in the presence of Chief Marketing Officer of Dialog Telekom Nushad Perera and under the patronage of Local Government and Provincial Councils Minister Janaka Bandara Tennakoon, and Chairman of Dambulla Pradeshiya Sabha K. G. Somathileke. This unveiling marked the first time that a digital clock tower was erected instead of an analogue in Sri Lanka.
"Replacing analogue clock towers with digital ones is indeed a milestone for our country, and we are delighted to have initiated this landmark project today," said Chief Marketing Officer, Dialog Telekom Nushad Perera. "We identify the clock tower as one of the focal points of a town, and with today's initiative we will be providing a facelift to the old clock towers as well as many town centres as a result," he added.
"Today's unveiling of Sri Lanka's first digital clock tower is yet another reinforcement of our position as a Company committed on innovation, and having a positive effect on people's lives," Perera added.
