Local authorities petition court to halt construction of Navatkuli stupa
10 Jun 2017
The Chavakachcheri Pradeshiya Sabai has petitioned the Chavakachcheri
court to halt the construction of a large-scale Buddhist stupa in
Navatkuli.
While a vihara already exists in the Navatkuli Sinhalese settlement,
monks began laying foundations for a new large scale stupa, costing
around 1 crore rupees, in the area last month.
The vihara administration undertaking the construction were ordered to
halt work by Chavakachcheri authorities, having failed to secure the
appropriate permission.
The order was ignored by the vihara, with monks continuing construction.
The Chavakachcheri court judge, Srinithi Nanthasekaram, issued a summons
for the head monk of the Navatkuli vihara to appear before the court on
20th June.
The Northern Provincial Council also passed a resolution last month
declaring the stupa to be illegal and demanding construction be halted.
