Date:

Prasanna Ranatunga, Minister of Urban Development and Housing, says that legal action will be taken against the protesters to recover compensation for the damage caused to the land where the Galle Face protest took place.

He has stated that the protestors were removed from this land belonging to the Urban Development Authority according to the existing law of the country and that no one can take possession of state property by force.

The minister said that a group of activists has filed a lawsuit saying that they have rights to the land of struggle and said that he will recover compensation from them for the damage caused to the land.

The minister has further said that if the compensation is not recovered, the ministry officials will have to face problems in the future and that they will never appoint their officials to such a crisis.
