When the Buddha statue that caused the upheaval is added the total is twelve. There may be many other Buddha statues that have not been include in this statistics. People are frustrated that the town council has made no attempts to take statistics about illegal buildings within its borders and follow it up with some action. People are asking that this action to be taken for the entire Trincomalee district.
