‘Thuru Mithuru - Nawa Ratak’ Phase - 3

03 Mar 2020

Chief of Defence Staff and Commander Lieutenant General Shavendra Silva inaugurated the ‘Thuru Mithuru - Nawa Ratak’ Phase - 3 today. Thuru Mithuru - Nawa Ratak is a city beautification project conducted by the Sri Lankan Army. Lieutenant General Silva symbolically released a shoal of 10,000 fingerlings to the newly-dug lake. In addition, one more school of 10,000 fingerlings on the same occasion was dropped into fresh water using two boats of the Special Forces. Using the soil bund in and around the man-made lake, the occasion also signalled the cultivation of 100 coconut saplings with the support of civilians living around the lake perimeter. A few minutes later, the day’s Chief Guest symbolically vested 24 concrete benches that have been erected along the beautified roadside and on the banks of the lake in the public.
