A young Sri Lankan man is reported to have been living in a garbage dump in Oman for six months.
Becoming a victim of a group of overseas labour traffickers, Pulasthi Chanaka, a resident of Horana area, was sent to work in Oman on tourist visa after a payment of Rs. 1 million.
He said that he was taken to Oman and left stranded together with several other young men. He further revealed that many Sri Lankan youths who were trafficked are suffering in various parts of the country as they were sent to Oman with forged documents and visas.
Pulasthi, despite informing the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Oman, has not received any relief yet and is in dire need of assistance after months without a grain of rice to satiate his hunger.
In addition, he also requests assistance from someone to return to his homeland and +94 76 114 4227 is the phone number to reach Pulasti in Oman.

The Government today tabled in the House the Report of the Commission to Inquiry into the Establishment and Maintenance of Unlawful Places of Detention and Torture Chambers in the Batalanda Housing Scheme.
Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today he wholly rejects the Batalanda Commission report and that it was appointed wholly with the intention slinging political mud at him.
Leader of the National People’s Party (NPP) and one time Propaganda Secretary of the JVP Wimal Weerawansa accused the Government of bringing back the “Batalanda Commission” for a media spectacle instead of a genuine concern for those who suffered during the 1988-1990 period.
