HANGURANKETHA REHABILITATION PROGRAMME
Nearly 200 families have moved to their new site, but many have returned to their original lands, despite it being at risk. It seems evident that the new site is unsuitable and could be prone to landslides, yet the DS division are ignorant to this fact, stating the risk as commonplace to Nuwara Eliya. Due to this, the GMSL are undertaking a swift and effective lobbying and advocacy role, to re-assess the suitability of the site and challenge the DS with findings from the NBRO and DMC. They are still without any water and sanitation facilities but the GMSL are currently securing funding for this and the community is under negotiation with the host families to share water from a nearby lake.
