Saturday , 22 December 2012

Due to the continuous torrential rainfalls in the Trincomalee district, Sambur people living in temporary welfare camps are facing misery.

 

Thousands of persons displaced for the past 7 years from Kilivetti, Pattithidal, Manachenai, Kattaiparichan located in the Sambur locality coming under the Mutur divisional secretariat were sheltered in temporary welfare centers.

 

Due to the reasons of improper facilities in discharging the waste water from the Kilivetti welfare center, water is getting stagnated in front of the camps. Hence there is a danger of contagious diseases getting spread.

 

Meanwhile due to continuous rainfalls in Mutur, Kinniya, Thambalagam, Kilivetti, Verugal and Eechalpattu many thousands of acres of paddy lands, and there is a danger for these cultivations getting affected, hence the cultivators are much perturbed.

 

People’s normal life and many factories have got affected. Due to bad weather conditions, fishermen are not going to the sea; hence there is a scarcity for fish.
