The Central Environment Authority, Coast Conservation Authority and the Ports Authority have admitted not giving approval for the project, coordinator of the CENS - Ravindra Kariyawasam told 'Sri Lanka Mirror'.

The delay in releasing the report means a delay in measures to conserve environment, he noted.

This is a violation of the public’s freedom to right to information as well.

In a letter to the Speaker - CENS says that the HRC has not released its report into The Kelani being contaminated by Coca Cola’s Biyagama factory.

The Central Environmental Authority has confirmed the factory’s waste water containing nitrates has contaminated the river, the letter adds.

So is the report into a complaint against Jiffy Products at Kobeigane in Nikaweratiya that causes harm to the ecosystem in and around Deduru Oya, it further says.

One year ago, the HRC completed investigations into the 775 km long four wheel vehicle track of the Army commando unit from Point Pedro to Uva Kuda Oya that caused massive environmental damage, but the report is yet to be made public, said Kariyawasam.
