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.
A Sri Lanka Air Force Bell 212 helicopter belonging to the No. 72 squadron has crashed into the Madhuru Oya reservoir this morning, Air FOrce Media Spokesman Eranda Geeganage said.
Update: Five of the twelve passengers on board the bell 212 aircraft that crashed into the Maduru Oya today, have succumbed to their injuries, the SLAF said.
