Sri Lanka’s Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has donated Rs 5 million rupees towards the construction of new living quarters for monks at the Bellana Sri Dharmapala Pirivena in Agalawaththa, which the Sri Lankan Air Force will help to construct.
Rajapaksa handed over the donation at a ceremony held at the Ministry of Defence, which was attended by monks from the vihara and the Commander of the Air Force, Air Marshal Kolitha Gunathilake. The money will be used to build a new five-storey construction for the monks of the vihara.
The Ministry of Defence reported that
“Labour support for this noble effort will be provided by the Sri Lanka Air force.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
