‘Hunas Falls’ hotel helps develop a road
View(s):Hunas Falls Hotels, a subsidiary of Hayleys Group, recently announced its completion of another infrastructure development project that would benefit the residents of Hunnasgiriya.
The Elkaduwa – Wattegama main road to the Hunnasgiriya tea estate which is 3 km long had fallen into a severe state of disrepair when Hayleys took up the initiative to reconstruct the road at a cost of Rs. 5.5 million and hand it over to the public.“The completion of this road has now provided the villagers with speedy access to the main road which back in the day took at least a good half an hour drive which now can be made in less than 10 minutes. Considering the road is uphill and slippery due to the weather patterns in the area, many villagers faced distress travelling back and forth on this road with muddy water puddles and damages to their vehicles which resulted in a costly affair for a low income community. At present, a privately owned bus service has also been made available for the benefit of the villagers,” a company statement said.
In addition to the road development project, Hunas Falls has contributed to the Hunnasgiriya community in many ways. Projects that are focused on uplifting the standards of the community lifestyle and empower people via better education facilities and through other methods have made a positive impact on the lives of the people in the area.
