The walking track at Wattala has been destroyed, apparently to build a road for a property developer.

"Yahapalanaya vandalism. This was our walking track in Wattala. Property businessmen and politicos destroyed it" veteran journalist Ameen Izzadeen said on Twitter, posting this photo.

In another tweet, he said "Our track was on a canal bank. It was broken last night to build a road for a property developer."
