Illegal constructions along canals to be removed
26 May 2017 03:22 pm - 17 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Megapolis and Western Development Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka today ordered the authorities to remove all illegal constructions that built blocking the canals and waterways.
Minister Ranawaka said due to the heavy showers received, the water level of Kelani River has rose and therefore a flood risk has been erupted in the Colombo, Kolonnawa, Kaduwela, Wattala and Kelaniya areas.
The Sri Lanka Land Reclamation and Development Corporation (SLRDC) and the related institutions were instructed to remove all the illegal constructions that were built blocking natural waterways and canals. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

Just increase property taxes on a incremental basis every year.

Very good decision. Also see about other unauthorized squatters who have rigged up huts in prime lands in the City, for example round about Asiri Surgical and Oasis hospitals.Also the countless houses on both sides of the Kelani Valley Railway line.

No proper planning. Everyone decides to take action after a major event... What a joke!

what about constructions done by filling marshy lands which also has impact where those flood retention areas have been occupied.

Do it al-least before the next flood.

This is why we need a competent government. Our people chose grapevine over proven results.

Anticipate another series of protests. Do not give in Minister take measures before the step on to the street.

In 1981 there was only a temple between Sri Saranankara Rd and canal . This is a crown land and now there are hundreds of unauthorized buildings.
