Temple administrators have closed the historic Kathirkaamam Murugan Temple in the south of Sri Lanka following the closure of Buttala-Kadirgaamam road after the claymore explosion that took place along Buttala-Okkampitya road recently, sources said.

The lodges and hotels in Kadirgaamam have put up their shutters as numbers of tourists and outstation devotees visiting Murugan Temple and other historical sites in the area took a sharp negative turn after the blast.

Pavement hawkers have also wounded up their business activities.
