After witnessing sixteen expositions of the Sacred Tooth Relic, this year’s chaotic special exposition was undeniably the most overwhelming.
Before the exposition, discussions on planning such a gigantic task were held in Kandy headed by the Diyawadana Nilame and representatives of the members of the Maha Sangha.
The Diyawadana Nilame is the sole custodian of the Shrine and the Mahanaykes of the Asgiriya and Malwatta oversee the daily rituals. With their experience, they could have advised authorities who were entrusted with the welfare of the devotees to ensure a smooth conduct of the exposition.
The District Secretary was entrusted with handling the arrangements but there are serious questions if he had experienced officers to delegate the tasks to.
This reporter observed only Police personnel of all ranks and Army managing this immense undertaking, with no other public officials visible.
