Setting forest reserve on fire was an act of terrorism Env. Minister

Setting forest reserve on fire was an act of terrorism, which had to be dealt with just like the Northern terrorism, Minister of Environment and Natural Resources Patali Champika Ranawaka said in Kandy yesterday. He said so answering a question raised by journalists at a press conference on the forest fire which cut a swathe through the Knuckles forest reserve last week.
