‘Araliya’ movement destroys the country

Information is reported that President Maithripala’s brother Dudley Sirisena has launched a land sales company named ‘Araliya Land Sales’ to buy lands adjacent to expressways, and is carrying out a land racket by partitioning the lands and selling them.

Also, he maintains a large number of hotels illegally along the coast and on catchment areas of tanks. Currently, a hotel with 400 rooms is being constructed illegally on the Unawatuna beach in Galle.
Lands with deeds adjacent to expressways are bought, partitioned; huge market values are attributed to them to sell them at exorbitant prices. Such large-scale land sales cause a tremendous environmental destruction point out environmentalists.

Environmentalists and the general public question as to why authorities have turned a blind eye despite an individual is responsible for the destruction of the environment throughout the island. Environmentalists wonder whether this act of environmental destruction has the blessings of President Maithripala Sirisena, who is also the Minister of Environment.
