Ministry Secretary W.B. Ganegala has said that while continuous requests  have been made from websites to register with the Ministry, only 45  websites have so far been registered. He has observed that the unregistered websites acted in violation of media ethics and were mostly engaged in publishing gossip. He has noted that the government would have to take action against the  websites that fail to register and continue to publish defamatory  articles. The Mass Media and Information Ministry last November ordered telecom  companies to block access to five websites. But a Supreme Court decision  in December granted permission for the blocked websites to resume  operations. The Ministry also reissued a directive for all websites carrying Sri  Lankan news to register with the Mass Media and Information Ministry. CP</blockquote>
