To climb Sigiriya, a ‘lift’ to facilitate process
The Sigiriya rock is visited by many locals and
tourists and is a place that is possessing tremendous historical and cultural significance and as a place of high archaeological value. The Minister of cultural affairs and arts Nandamithra Ekanayake speaking to ‘Rivira’ newspaper has quipped that he has suggested to the Director General of the archaeological department and to the Director central cultural fund to implement his suggestion to fix a ‘lift’ to facilitate easy passage to view the rock for its historical and archaeological values for all those who patronise. The climbing then would be made easier for elders and those handicapped.
Once this is implemented would boost the tourist industry and could earn a much bigger revenue than at present, the Minister had further added.
