Galle Fort, a prime tourist destination and a location of historic value -it is also named as a World Heritage site by UNESCO.
To anyone who visit the fort, it’s a trip back in time to the colonial days, standing among historic buildings which stand tall with pride and unspeakable beauty.
The Galle Fort is an outstanding example of the type of building, architectural or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates a significant stage in human history, says UNESCO.
Given that, why is the Government requesting 15 government institutions functioning inside the Fort to move out?
According to reports published by the Sunday Times newspaper, the process is being carried out without proper consultation.
The newspaper says that the buildings which have been asked to be cleared include;
- All Saints’ College
- Galle Fort Post Office
