Wildlife Minister Sarath Fonseka says that he will resign from his ministerial portfolio if no assistance is received from the government to provide a solution with regard to the elephants in the Sinharaja reserve within the next 3 months.
He made these comments during a discussion held at the Rambuka Rajawatta Temple on Tuesday (19) regarding wild elephants.
The government had planned to relocate the two elephants remaining at the Sinharaja forest reserve to the Horowpathana holding centre when this operation had commenced on June 14.
However, on Sunday the operation was halted on the instructions of the President.
