Sri Lanka on Sunday urged the people to return or provide any information regarding valuable artefacts and archaeological items that went missing during the massive protests against the government of the then-president Gotabaya Rajapaksa in July last year, as the island nation marked the first anniversary of the popular uprising.
More than 1,000 artefacts, including items of vintage and antique value went missing from Sri Lanka's Presidential Palace and Prime Minister's official residence at Temple Trees in Colombo after irate anti-government protesters occupied these premises in July last year to protest the island nation's worst economic crisis in decades.
