Proposal to restore name of Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha
(Srilankamirror) - A proposal has been made to restore the original name of Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha in Colombo.
UNP’s Mujibur Rahman made the proposal at the western provincial council meeting on January 17.
The government’s renaming it as Nelum Pokuna Mawatha is a disrespect to the late artiste and a wrong signal to the minority communities, said the councilor.
Chairman of the council Susil Wijeratne said the proposal would be referred to the Colombo municipal council.
