The Sri Lankan government and Sri Lankan High Commissioner to India Prasad Kariyawasam requested devotees not to visit or tour the sacred area this week as investigations were continuing.
The Temple’s chief monk Ven. Hakurugammana Saddathissa Thera said the blasts may have have been carried out to prevent devotees visiting the temple. Meanwhile, Government Information Director General Prof. Ariyarathne Athugala said Bihar Province Chief Minister Nithis Kumar had taken the initiative and leadership to inquire into the incident.
