Sri Lanka's Eastern Province land asked for businesses

(September 03, 2009) Eastern Province Land Commissioner  H.M. Yasaratne says that a Colombo based Company had asked for 400 acres in the Padiyatalawa area of the Ampara district for maize cultivation. Thirty four more individuals and companies have also sent applications to him asking for lands in Kuchchaveli which lies north of Trincomalee for investments in the tourism industry.

With the end of the war in the island, a heavy demand for crown lands in the Eastern Province for investment purposes has been seen, particularly in tourism and agriculture, according to Provincial Land Commissioner  H.M. Yasaratne.
