A ding-dong battle is under way over the valuation of the Mattala International Airport.
Valuation officials are learnt to have placed the figure at US$ 400 million taking into consideration the land value and the infrastructure development that is under way.
However, sections of the Government argue that the real value is US$ 230 million and claim a higher figure would be a deterrent to foreign investment. However, officials are sticking to their position.
The final rites of veteran broadcaster, writer, and lyricist Nirmala de Alwis will be held today at Peradeniya.
