Wildlife officers who informed the Leader of Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa about the harm done to 12000 acres in the Yala National Park have been given immediate transfer orders, the Opposition Leader's office alleged in a statement today.
The statement said these officers had informed Premadasa about their fate.
"Some of them have received threats," the statement said.
Premadasa on Wednesday said the government was planning to devour 12,000 acres from the Yala national park for purposes which were unknown. (Yohan Perera)
