AMBALANGODA:(THE
ISLAND 17 July 2001) As Ambalangoda is a 100 per cent Buddhist town, the
UC Chairman, M.W. Aruna Pradeep has decided to abstain from opening beef
and chicken stalls at the new market complex. Although the UC called for
tenders twice no one has responded. Ambalangoda YMBA has also requested
the Chairman to abstain from opening up beef stalls in the new market
complex. It is also said that the reason for abstaining from tendering
for beef and chicken stalls by businessmen is that the fish mongers
at the market do not like to have beef or chicken stalls there as there
would be steep competition for the sale of meat and fish. Contributed by Vinod Moonesinghe. |

Somaratne of the Moratuwa Police on the grounds that women cannot transport liquor and are liable to be locked up in a cell.
