Idaprovintsi kohta

Idaprovints on üks Sri Lanka üheksast provintsist. Provintsid on eksisteerinud 19. sajandist, kuid neil ei olnud juriidilist staatust enne 1987. aastat, mil Sri Lanka 1978. aasta põhiseaduse 13. muudatusega loodi provintsinõukogud. Aastatel 1988–2006 liideti provints ajutiselt Põhjaprovintsiga, moodustades Kirdeprovintsi. Provintsi pealinn on Trincomalee. Idaprovintsi rahvaarv oli 2007. aastal 1 460 939. Provints on Sri Lanka kõige mitmekesisem, nii etniliselt kui ka religioosselt.

Idaprovintsi pindala on 9996 ruutkilomeetrit (3859,5 ruutmiili). Provintsi ümbritsevad põhjas Põhjaprovints, idas Bengali laht, lõunas Lõunaprovints ning läänes Uva, Kesk- ja Põhja-Keskprovints. Provintsi rannikul domineerivad laguunid, millest suurimad on Batticaloa laguun, Kokkilai laguun, Upaari laguun ja Ullackalie laguun.
