( March 30, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Visitors to the Sigiriya Rock Fortress would not be allowed to proceed beyond the Lion’s Paw, the Central Cultural Fund said.
“The decision was taken after repeated attacks by wasps on visitors to the rock,” said officials of the Sigiriya Projects Office.
Despite the restrictions, visitors still have the opportunity of viewing the frescoes.
“However, a special programme has been launched to protect visitors from wasp attacks,” said G. L. Samarasinghe, Secretary of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
