Two Sacks of Weapons Recovered from Weheragala Reservoir

A stock of military equipment has been discovered in the Weheragala Reservoir in Kataragama.

The recovery includes 74 T-56 magazines, 35 LMG drums, 5 MPMG drum boxes, along with several unidentified magazines. In addition, two boxes suspected to contain explosives and two sacks believed to hold weapons were also found at the site.

The discovery was made following an intelligence tip received by the Army. The stockpile had surfaced as a result of receding water levels in the reservoir. Since the location falls under the Gonaganara Police Division, the items were handed over to the Gonaganara Police Station for further investigation.
