Temple Trees
Colombo 3
Dear Sir
APPEAL TO OPEN THE ROAD BEHIND TEMPLE TREES
We the residents living behind TEMPLE TREES, R A Demel Mawatha, Colombo 3, appeal to you to open the road that has been closed since 2003. We the users and residents of this road waited patiently till tha war was over and requsted the authorities to open the road.
The residents met the Presidential candidate Mr. Maithriipala Sirisena who agreed to open all the roads that were closed. We find that roads arround Fort and Presidents house has been opened. Not the road behind temple trees.
We the residents behind temple trees have suffered due to the closure of the road that we are unable to go to our place of worship, go to our residences and offices that is located behind the temple trees, which is violation of Human Rights.
Sri Dharma keerthiyarama Road temple main gate access is closed. Which is in front of the rear entrance of the temple trees. The mosque and the St. Michaels church, the convent and the two schools cannot park its vehicles on due to the closure of the road. Hence the right to visit your own place of worship, Schools Residence and office is obstructed.
The through traffic that flows through Duplication Road is obstructed. Hence the vehicels have to take a longer route with longer traffic jams as a resault the daily fuel wastage is more than Rs 10 million per day due to the closure of the road
The old people who have put all their life savings and built houses, officess and business premises thinking of getting a return of their assets are unable to realize their dreams by selling or renting these premises when the interest rates are so low.
When the residents met the president Maitreepala he told us that he has instructed the Prime Minister and the Interior Minister to open the road behind temple trees.
The residents of the following roads obstructed Nelson Lane, Muhandiram Road, Carmel Road, St. Michaels Road, Hudson Road, Alwis Place, Rotunda Gardens, Perahera Mawatha.
We are the residents Behind Temple Trees Humbly Appeal to the Prime minister to open the road and break the barriers and the wall obstructing free movement of the people which is basic right of the people.
Kind Regards
Residents Around Temple Trees Ra Demel Mawatha, Colombo 3.
