Archbishop Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith has issued a letter denouncing the dumping of garbage in Muthurajawela.
The letter by the Archbishop of Colombo, denounced the dumping of garbage collected in the Colombo city, at Muthurajawela, by the Colombo Municipal Council and other government agencies, without any concern for the environment.
His Eminence adds that this is severely hampering the fishing resources in the Negombo lagoon, on which the livelihood of many people depend.
In his letter, the Archbishop states, that Muthurajawela marsh has been gazetted under the Environmental Protection and Conservation Act, adding that the ad hoc dumping of garbage, without carrying out a proper study, will lead to the destruction of this natural resource.
