Prominent businessman Dudley Sirisena has announced that he will remove the area of his Sudu Araliya Hotel identified as containing illegal structures.
Speaking at a ceremony in Hingurakgoda, Sirisena said he will respect the law by personally demolishing the section, though bookings at the hotel will continue until May.
In July, Agriculture, Livestock, Lands and Irrigation Minister K.D. Lal Kantha denied claims that the hotel was spared from the government’s programme to clear illegal constructions along irrigation tank reservations. (Newswire)
