Villagers at Inginiyagama, a rural village in Anuradhapura district were taken by surprise as they were given dry rations packs worth Rs.20,000 each pack.
The donation was made by Ven. Welitara Amarananda Thera of the Ahungalle Sri Pulithanaramaya. The village, battered by frequent wild elephant attacks, do not have electricity facilities or a proper road system.
