COLOMBO (News1st): A manager of the Cey Nor restaurant has said that some groups have visited the property, as it has been identified for an investment project. News 1st has already revealed that valuable properties in Colombo are to be handed over for investment projects under an entity named Selendiva Investments. "On the 17th, 10 people in four vehicles arrived at around 2 pm. They had captured photographs and videos of the premises," Amila Udayanga, the manager said.
