Hotel On Top Of ‘Sri Pada’

It is said that paving the path from the entrance to ‘Paththirippuwa’ at Temple of the Tooth with concrete slabs is a part of this programme. The reconstruction work has commenced despite strong opposition from the Department of Archeology.

Meanwhile, Project Manager of the Sri Lanka Nature Forum Sajeewa Chamikara has charged that Somawathiya National Park in Polonnaruwa is in grave danger of being destroyed sooner than later as a result of the Wild Life and Conservation Department opening up the expanse for the building of hotels, illegal sand mining and the construction of a new highway.
