Sri Lanka It's Happening

July 23, 2006

The Sun Sets on Kahatudawa. There is more to it than just the setting sun. Kahatuduwa, is a one horse town close to Homagama and Horana. Today you will struggle to find it on the map. According to it's citizens, the town will soon be replaced by a lake. The banner says "Mr Prime Minister our lives are in your hands". Apparently this is a route that the prime minister often travels on.

The government plans to build a highway through the town and the paddy fields and marshes that sorrounds it. According to the citizens this will mean the town will get flooded.

For some, it does not matter they are being forcibly relocated and their hourses are being demolished. Posted by raditha at July 23, 2006 3:04 PM
