The construction of new buildings of more than 4 storeys in the Nuwara Eliya district has been restricted with effect from May 1.
This decision has been taken by the cabinet of Ministers giving approval to the proposals presented by the President to impose regulations according to the provisions of the Urban Development Authority Act.
The beauty of the city of Nuwara Eliya is gradually diminishing due to the informal development that is taking place in the Nuwara Eliya area.
The President recently said that it has had a great impact on the tourism industry.
