In a remarkable show of unity and co-existence over 200 members of the public came together to rebuild a Muslim owned shop burnt down in Anamaduwa yesterday.
According to sources around 7 youth had arrived on motorcycles going on to set fire to Madeena Muslim Hotel in Anamaduwa. While four of the suspects have now been arrested, the Police are on the lookout for the other three.
But what was significant is that less than 12 hours, Madeena Muslim Hotel was yet again open for business despite suffering serious damage in the attack due to the efforts of the people in Anamaduwa.
State Minister, Palitha Range Bandara, religious leaders, Police and the public gathered for the shop’s opening after restoration last night.
