Dishonour for the “Boralugoda Lion”

The Philip Gunawardena Ground, more popularly known as Hyde Park, is named after one of Sri Lanka’s most respected politicians and a man who is the father of current Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena.

The name board at the ground named in honour of the “Lion of Boralugoda” (Boralugoda Sinhaya) however, seems to need a correction.

The ground is used frequently for many events including political rallies. With the term of office of local councils also now having come to an end, one wonders whether it will have to fall to the PM, in his capacity as Local Government Minister, to intervene to correct the error.
