Flower Pots Removed
Over 45,000 flower pots placed on the walls surrounding Temple Trees were removed yesterday on the instructions of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. The Prime Minister’s office said that the flower pots, which were placed during the 2013 Commonwealth Summit by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, were removed on the basis that it was too costly to maintain.
