Construction on largest Christmas tree suspended
Construction of the ‘world’s largest Christmas Tree’ has been temporarily suspended.
The suspension comes in the wake of criticism by Archbishop of Colombo, who termed the endeavour ‘wasteful expenditure’, saying the money should be used to build homes for the homeless or to provide scholarships to poor children.
The tree is to be built using iron, old wood material, chicken wire mesh and vinyl flowers. The 325 ft tree was scheduled to be completed by December 22 and displayed for 10 days beginning on Christmas Day.
