A major fire broke out at the ammunition dump of the Sri Lanka Army Camp at Salawa, Kosgama back in June.  

Military expert, Retired Major General Mano Perera, at the time said that army is in the process of shifting ammunition to safer areas  – which requires a very large area. Residential areas anyway carry obvious danger regarding storing explosives.

Army has allocated a valuable 500 m stretch of land along the Colombo - Awissawella main road for the construction of 35 new shop in place of the shops affected by the Salawa ammo dump fire earlier this month.
