The Buddhist monk who reined this was killed by LTTE. Dimbulla Seelaratana was killed by LTTE in 1995. He was the Chief of the Dimbulla Forest Reserve built for monks in the past history.
Tanks in this area goes back to RAVANA'S time of the king Manu. The tanks were built in relation to natural streams and the excess water was damed to save water for the dry season. Subsequent kings improvee them but after Chola and Pandiya (Kalinga and Maga) invasions, they were deliberately destoyed by Tamil kings. Current LTTE is also hell bent on destroying to plant there a "Cooked Up" Tamil Story and Heritage.
