Army Builds ‘Sanghawasa’ at Incumbent’s Request

The newly-constructed ‘Sanghawasa’ at Sri Patharama Viharaya, Sinnawatte, Vellaveli was declared opened by Major General D.D.U.K. Hettiarachchi, General Officer Commanding, 23 Division on Friday (27). 

The construction was done under the supervision of Brigadier N.D.S.P. Niwunhella, Commander, 231 Brigade and Lieutenant Colonel J.A.J. Jayarathne, Commanding Officer, 11(V) Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment (SLSR). 

Troops of 11 (V) SLSR provided the labour assistance for the construction of the ‘Sanghawasa’.

The chief incumbent sought the assistance of the 231 Brigade troops for implementation of the project since the temple doesn’t have resources to get this done. 

Several outside devotees and donors contributed to the cost of the construction.
