Activists inspect Miracle Dome City Site amid environmental concerns

A group of civil society activists visited the proposed Miracle Dome City project site in Katunayake following reports and social media claims raising concerns about the project’s potential environmental impact.

During the site visit, the activists inspected the premises and reviewed measures related to environmental protection, land preservation and the development plans for the property.

Speaking to reporters after the visit, civil society representative Sanjaya Mahawatta said the conditions observed at the site did not correspond with claims circulating on social media.

“We personally visited the Miracle Dome City site to review claims regarding environmental harm. Upon reviewing the property, we saw strong environmental standards and proactive preservation efforts,” Mahawatta said.

He also referred to a planned 1,500-bed facility, saying it was being established to provide accommodation and care for people who are poor and suffering from illness.

“The allegations online do not reflect the reality on the ground,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Miracle Dome management said it remains committed to environmentally responsible development and land stewardship, adding that planned activities at the site are continuing as scheduled.
