CID investigates in to lands distributed by Minister Dinesh
The CID has launched a special investigation in to the lands that had been distributed in an illegal manner by Minister Dinesh Gunawardena during his tenure as Urban Development Minister.
The investigation had been initiated following an anonymous tip received by the new head of the Urban Development Authority, Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. The informant had said that Dinesh had allocated many lands under the purview of the Land Reclamation and Development Corporation to one of his lady friends.
The CID officials conducting the investigation had visited the Urban Development Authority office and taken away two files containing details about the respective lands.
Similar petitions on lands distributed by Dinesh had been received by the President. However, the President had claimed that there were rogues working at Dinseh’s Ministry and had criticized the conduct of the head of the Land Reclamation and Development Corporation.
It is learnt that the Defence Secretary’s attention had been re-focused on the land issue by former Working Director at the Land Reclamation Corporation, Dishan Gunasekera.
