Ceylon Green Life Plantation (Pvt) Ltd has appealed to the President for relief, stating that more than 1,000 farming families and over 4,000 employees are facing a severe crisis following the suspension of its bank accounts without prior notice.The company’s Chief Executive Officer has sent a special letter to the President’s Secretary, requesting humanitarian intervention to provide relief in the matter.In the letter, the company maintains that it operates a genuine agricultural project and is not a financial institution that accepts public deposits. It says the relevant parties, including the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, have been informed of this, and that it has provided the documents and cooperation required for investigations.According to the letter issued by the company, cultivation is currently being carried out on more than 1,800 acres of land, while polytunnel greenhouse facilities covering nearly 500,000 square feet are maintained in various parts of the country.
