Butthala, Sri Lanka.




Butthala - Katharagama road.
Butthala was developed by our Late Prime Minister Mr. Ranasinghe Premadasa in a 'Gam Udaawa' pro gramme. Now it is a bustling center with a popular vegetable market.

Comment by Dr.JKS Weerassekera:-
This is Buttala, so remote in the 1930-40s 'A doctor had to operate under a banana leaf ' ( Prof Milroy Paul of revered fame, of the Colombo Medical Faculty, Department of Surgery)
