Ironic how our country takes part in projects such as this, but manages to remove exiting trees and build hotels and other infrastructures in the middle of nature reserves

A green Sri Lanka in years to come..I always dreamed of this and thought why wr could not atleast plant trees. Better late than never and continue planting a process to be continued

How come Naveen is Honarable, is it only by board?A person becomes Honourable for what he does, not by just displaying a board.Shame on Sri Lankan politicians who boost their images in stupid ways.

Vijay Saturday, 21 February 2015 04:16 AM

Why no investigation into former minister S M Chandrasena illegally cutting trees in the Hurulu Nature Reserve in Anuradhapura?

ANTON Friday, 20 February 2015 07:00 PM

Dul baba is still ahead

rav Saturday, 21 February 2015 06:05 AM

Guys - just relax and please think - do we need any beauties"/virgins" to come to our country paid in full by hard working tax payers money to be spend to plant trees in our own country? whoever organised these things should be thrown of out their jobs in government. And, I was reading some if not all the comments - u guys are just bunch of idiots...... Instead of sitting behind a keyboard making stupid comments - go and do something good.

dass Saturday, 21 February 2015 07:49 AM

I can see fruits even before planting the tree.
