These websites should obtain the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from the TRC under new regulations that will be introduced shortly. In addition action will be taken to impose controls on the Google search engine as well in relation to these issues.The four-member National Express Internet Service Advisory Committee which deals with IP addresses and related matters will also handle the proposed new rules, a senior official of the TRC said.Newly appointed TRC Director General Anusha Pelpita, who is also the director of Government Information, said he has not received instructions from the President to impose such restrictions on news websites but he did not rule out the possibility of imposing sanctions and censorship.The TRC has received a grant from the Institutional Development Fund (IDF) under the World Bank .<a href="http://sundaytimes.lk/100214/News/nws_02.html" target="_blank">http://sundaytimes.lk/100214/News/nws_02.html</a></blockquote>
