Lot of difficulties had to be incurred due to the inability of doing any essential construction of the Regimental Headquarters and its maintenance to a proper plan as it had to be shifted to different places time to time. The referee to overcome these difficulties the Regimental Headquarter of Sri Lanka National Guard was in need to be established in its own premises. As a result the Regimental Headquarters was able to acquire a two acre land at Weherawatta in Kurunegala. Accordingly inspirit of a lot of hindrance and difficulties, on the 4th March 1994 the Regimental Headquarters was shifted to the place where it is beautifully located today.
