The Sri Lankan government has initiated a major operation to reclaim and protect tank reservoir lands from illegal occupation.
Minister K.D. Lal Kantha announced that surveys and boundary redefinitions are underway, particularly in Anuradhapura, to remove encroachments and restore these vital water resources. The move comes amid public scrutiny and allegations involving prominent individuals, but the minister emphasized that no exceptions will be made. The government aims to balance environmental conservation with tourism development while ensuring legal compliance.
