“Most billboards within the city of Colombo come under the Colombo Municipal Council.”
DISPUTED
Evidence indicates conflicting responsibilities for billboard regulation. While Wikipedia and web sources state the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) governs Colombo's municipal affairs, a web search explicitly notes billboards are 'mismanaged because the CMC has not been functioning' and cites a committee involving the Defence Ministry and Urban Development Authority. This suggests shared or alternative oversight, not exclusive CMC control.
