A Korean woman has lodged a complaint with the Korean Embassy in Colombo regarding land belonging to the Mahaweli Authority being sold with forged deeds. 

The Korean woman who resides in Digana bordering the land acquired by the Mahaweli Authority, made a complaint to the Embassy after she had noticed the construction of a private road leading to the area.

Subsequently, the Korean Embassy had informed the Presidential Secretariat regarding the incident.  It has been revealed that a woman working at the Mahaweli Authority is involved in the deal. 

The Organization for the Protection of Public Property has also informed the Presidential Secretariat.
