Concrete bunker at President's house

A little known fact about Janadipathi Mandiraya ( or the President's House) occupied then by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has now surfaced.

During the separatist war with Tiger guerrillas, fear of air attacks led to the construction of a heavily concrete reinforced underground structure in the premises.

Of course, there was no need to use it since there were no air attacks on the building.
