A one time commercial hub in the Sabragamuwa Province during the colonial days is now in a neglected state, despite several monuments which deserved to be conserved.
The village of Dedugala, located in the Bulathkohupitiya Divisional Secretariat area of the Yatiyantota Electorate was the commercial hub with some 100 shops in the area.
The town consisted of a post office, three saloons, textile shops, liquor shop, a bakery and a beef stall among others.
Bus services operated even at midnight.
The town was mostly developed during the British era.
However, today the area has been turned into a mere village with the place in a neglected state.
