Houses and shops along Pamankada Road, Wellawatte were torn down in an attempt to widen the road. The occupants said they were given only a day’s notice before their houses were broken down. According to residents, even though they were paid Rs.125,000 per perch, they weren’t given enough time to move, or find a temporary residence, nor did the Government make any attempt to relocate them.
