The Rathugala Veddah chief has been ordered by Courts to give written submissions to certify that they have sole rights to some land in the area.

The Monaragala District judge ordered the Veddha Chief and his community to give written submissions by the 29th of this month after a case was filed by another party seeking rights to the land.

The Rathugala Veddah chief had disputed the claim and said the land belongs to his community as his forefathers were also buried there. (Daily Mirror online)
