A poultry farm in the Madurankuliya area was set on fire by an unidentified gang because of a personal dispute this morning, Mundalama police said. They said 600 fowls were burnt to death.

The poultry farm owner said this act of vandalism was done to take revenge after his goats had entered a block of land belonging to a area politician and had damaged his coconut nursery. (Pix and news by Hiran Priyankara Jayasinghe)
