Nuwara Wewa under spotlight Former Ministers land reclamation activities cause concern

So far he has two Jaya Bhoomi deeds for a land of four acres; both under his wife’s name. Senior Surveyor Ajith Munasinghe said that the minister had obtained the four acres by reclaiming land from the Nuwara Wewa. “Initially this land was less than ten perches. When the Survey Department conducted surveys around the Nuwara Wewa to separate reserve areas in 1992 this land was surely less than ten perches,” Munasinghe added. However Chandrasena had obtained Jaya Bhoomi deeds under his wife’s name and increased his land by reclaiming area from Nuwara Wewa. These reclamation activities are evident at times when the water level increases. “The water level increases around the land as the same way the water level increases around a mountain,” Munasinghe explained.
