Kandy by night
By Shane Seneviratne
The Presidential guards were on what appeared to be an undercover mission last evening at the Hantana Hills in Kandy. Puzzled visitors watched on and were told they were cleaning the undergrowth as an opposition MP of cricketing fame had purchased the land.

The men who were armed with rubber gloves, boots and mechanized grass cutters wanted the onlookers to move away.

While nothing else was said by the top brass it appeared that the whole exercise had nothing to do with the ex-cricketer. But another connected with the group whispered that the real reason, "just so that the kids can have a scenic view of Kandy by night."
