. Along
the A 9 Jaffna -Colombo road in the Kanagarayankulama area about some
years ago a Buddha statue that was erected by the Sri Lanka Army had been
damaged on the 29th instant.
The two Buddha statues 3 1/2
feet and 1 1/2 feet in height have been totally destroyed and the
remnants kept on the side of the road. These
statues had been erected for the army personnel who were deployed to worship.
No one had complained to the police
but the authorities of the Kanagarayakulama police had notified the Deputy
Inspector General of the Wanni division.
