JVP's founding leader Rohana Wijeweera's last residence in Ulapane, Nuwara Eliya District, is now operated under the National Youth Services Council as a training centre.

The centre provides 19 six-month courses and a 1000 students are enrolled in various courses at one time. A private land adjacent to it has been also bought for the expansion of the facility.

This was informed by the Divisional Secretary of the Ganga Ihala Korale to Wijeweera's wife Chithranganee Wijeweera.

She had made a request through the President and the Defence Ministry to handover the house to her as she will have to move out of the Navy camp in Trincomalee.

She has been informed that the property was confiscated through the Gazette Notification No 110/02 dated May 15, 1990, issued under the provisions of the Public Security Act.

Wijeweera was arrested in his house in Ulapane in November 1989, where he was living under the assumed name of Attanayake.
