A few months ago we reported about the forcible filling of the Babila Yaya paddy field as well as the Namalwiyana paddy field which is a historical paddy field in Gampola town. The role of the Gampola Divisional Secretary has also been recorded. The police had not taken action to save the Namal Viyan paddy field and they had used state power to carry out an illegal act.
Currently, a paddy field called Polgaskumbura in the Maliga Maligapurana Grama Niladhari Division on the border of the Gampola Municipal Council boundary and the river upper Pradeshiya Sabha area is being illegally filled. It is reported that hundreds of tipper loads are being used to fill these lands without permits every day. It is reported that neither the Divisional Secretary of the upper river nor the Grama Niladhari of the relevant division has issued permits to fill the land for this purpose. However, paddy land reclamation is not permitted by law. But in the middle of the day, as the two thousand waited, the land was being filled with the prior blessings of the police, as was evident in their search for political connections.
These lorries pass through the Gampola police area. . The numbers of 9 lorries have been handed over to the Gampola Police.
It is reported that the area with this latest land belongs to the Ethgala Police. The land belongs to the Upper Ganga Pradeshiya Sabha but the illegal activity is being carried out by the Chairman of the Nawalapitiya Urban Council Amal Priyankara.
ASP Kamal Ariyawansa has threatened to arrest Gampola Municipal Councilor Sameera Chandrasiri for trying to save the Gampola Namal Weaver from the crime (video). It is reported that Shirantha Peiris was the SSP in charge of the area at that time. It is reported that the present SSP in charge of the area is Pradip Ratnayake, a former Traffic OIC of the Borella Police who is close to Mahindananda Aluthgamage.
However, as we write every day, the duty of the police is to protect the people by arresting and prosecuting offenders who read the law or the Sri Lankan Penal Code.
According to this video, these tipper drivers are committing a number of illegal activities. Makes deadly threats to peaceful people. So is the mayor. SSP in charge of Gampola area. These incidents have been happening in your police area for a long time. Every day the police have to hear scolding from the people because they used their jobs to protect your sleep and your political allies. Who cares about saying this raw bitter ugly thing ?. If you fail to enforce the law on them, will not you and our motherland be destroyed day by day? Is it because of political bullying that they have not been able to arrest or prosecute this case even after several days?
Is to correct.
Some typewriters should be correct as follows.
The word Gampola Urban Council should be changed to Pradeshiya Sabha. In addition, the present Senior Superintendent of Police Pradeep Ratnayake, not the Borella Traffic OIC, but the former Borella Traffic OIC who died in a road accident was killed in a collision with the Defender vehicle driven by the officer’s son.
