my dear EK friends
thanks a lot for your support and appreciations
yesterday I have spoken with Mawanella Police divisional commander- OIC , Mr Muthubanda, and he said they are doing their best to protect Dewanagala ancient temple. (It must be noted that he has involved personally to protect this site in number of early occasions.)
He said, that they have visited to the site with the competent authorities ( including Sabaragamuwa governor etc
few days ago and organised for an on-site meeting on 22-26th October to decide further action. They are planning to construct protective fence around the site perimeter and possibly, to set a security post nearby the site.
Further he noted that the problem is ; not having a potable water supply for the temple. The other problem is the accessibility to the site. It takes about three kilometres of foot walk to reach the temple from Dewanagala junction, and no vehicle can pass as route is extremely rocky and stretched. But they are trying to do their best.
Mr Mutubanda added that there are also some illegal settlers within the archaeological perimeter of the site (buffer zone) and those settlers are not only the Muslims , but are some Sinhala families as well..! Further , lot of ancient artefacts belonged to the temple have been removed by the treasure hunters long time ago in different occasions.
OIC Muthubanda is a devoted officer and gentleman . You can contact him through this phone number. 035-2247222. Let us appreciate and support them.
