Alternative commercial lands were given to those who are deprived of commercial business due to development activities of Victoria Reservoir Project, Kotmale Reservoir Project and Polgolla Reservoir Project in newly developing areas.
Kotmale Reservoir Project and Polgolla Reservoir Project in newly developing areas such as Karalliyadde, Rajawella, Kundasale New Town, Haragama, Gurudeniya, Kolongaswatta, Ambakote/Aluthwatta, Kotmale New Town and Katugastota New Town on a long term lease basis and these long term lease licences have now expired.
The Cabinet has decided to offer grants to those who are currently enjoying these lands by collecting their assessed value, instead of offering them on lease basis.
