Lands for Nagadeepa Viharaya The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Lands and Irrigation has taken steps to grant several lands adjoining the Nagadeepa Viharaya, Jaffna to the historic temple on a request by its chief incumbent Ven. Navadagala Padumakiththi Thera. The Thera has made representations to the Government that the lands where the Bodhi Maluwa and Pilgrims Rest were located, did not belong to the temple. Consequently, officials have been instructed to expedite the transfer of these lands to the temple. Ven. Padumakiththi Thera said this will enable the temple to go ahead with renovation and development activities which had been held up for some time.
