2014 අවුරුද්දේ අන්තිම කාලේදි, අපි ඉස්කෝලෙදි ඉගෙන ගත්ත moore building එක කඩුවා ඒ වෙලාවෙ හිතට ලොකු දුකක් දැනුනා.ඒත් තිබුණු පස්මහල් ගොඩනැගිල්ල වෙනුවට සත්මහලක්ම ඉදිවෙනවා කියලා තිබුණු බලාපොරොත්තුව හැම ආනන්දීයෙක්ටම ලොකු සතුටක් ඇති කරන්න හේතු වුනා. 2015 ජනවාරි 01 දින මුල්ගල් තැබුවත් මෙතෙක් කඩ වූ සිහිනයක්ව තිබූ අලුත් "සත්මහල්" ගොඩනැගිල්ලෙ ඉදිකිරීම් කටයුතු පසුගියදා ආරම්භ වුනේ ආනන්දියන් සියල්ලන්ගෙම හදවත් තුල නිහතමානි ආඩම්බරයක් අති කරමින්ය. නව "සත්මහල " දෑකීම සියලුම ආනන්දියන්ගෙ එකම බලාපොරොත්තුවයි.
