Dhammadinna Thero of Sri Padasthanadi Bengamuwa says that the increased electricity bill will not be paid at all. Sri Lanka Latest News
Emphasizing the presence of the Electricity Board, these comments were made in a discussion held at the Ratnapura District Secretariat on the upcoming Sri Pada Vandana season.
“It’s not what we asked for. It is a promise made by the former leader of this government that they will provide electricity until Sri Padasthan exists.
None of the previous leaders or contributors have committed to pay. Didn’t even pay. We have nothing to set a precedent for.
So you guys just stay or cut it.
Who is charged for the lights on both sides of the highways? Is it paid by the highways department?
Before acting on your circulars, think about what Sri Padasthan is for and why it exists.
We have never been married. In the past, none of the leaders paid it.
I take an engine and leave lights for those looking up.
Don’t come begging. Not even paying.”
