Road near the Temple of Tooth Relic in Sri Lanka's hill country to be reopened

Sri Lanka government is planning to reopen the road near the most sacred Temple of Tooth Relic in Kandy after nearly 10 years.

The government Defence Spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said the road will be reopened for only light vehicles and civilians in the near future.

However, a date for reopening the road has not been decided yet by the government.

Following the suicide attack on the most sacred Temple of Tooth Relic in Kandy in 1998 by the LTTE the road near the temple was closed for civilians resulting in inconveniences to vehicle and civilian traffic. Source:
