By Indika Sri Aravinda


Over 400 families living illegally on marshy land in the Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte area are to be evicted and the cabinet has approved a sum of 800 million rupees for this purpose.

The cabinet has approved the money for the resettlement of 450 families living illegally on marshy land in Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, Nawala and other Colombo suburban areas, Chairman of the Sri Lanka land Reclamations and Development Corporation Karunasena Hettiarachi told Daily Mirror online.

He added that although approval has been granted for resettlement, there was a problem of evicting them as land for there resettlement had still not been identified. The eviction is done to conserve the marshy land in the Colombo area, he said. (Daily Mirror online)
