An incident stating that the property where the Namal Pokuna is located facing the historic Dimbulagala Aranaya Senasanaya had been bulldozered is to be immediately investigated according to the subject state minister, Vidura Wickramanayake.

A group of officers are to be sent to the site this morning to verify these allegations.

Meanwhile it had been reported to the Hiru news team, that the area which is believed to have been cleared belongs to the Mahaweli Authority.
