Farmers and traders who visited Special Economic Centre in Dambulla this morning (30) faced difficulty and uncertainty as the hand washing facilities provided at the entrance to the Centre had been removed, especially in the backdrop of finding three COVID-infected persons from the premises yesterday (29).
Traders said the hand washing facilities have been removed due to the maintenance work of a drain being carried out at the entrance to the centre and complained that the management had not taken any steps to rectify the situation.
Several traders were seen operating without wearing face masks and following other health guidelines.
All efforts to contact centre manager Christy Wijeratne since yesterday has turned out futile.

I still remember the day of August 1947 floods, as it was the last school day at Kingswood College Kandy and the height the water soured. Water rose to the height of the Cross of the Chrurch at Getambe and the water was so high that it engulfed the Getambe Rajaponawarma Temple leaving only a few leaves of the Bo-tree visible.
The Colombo Additional Magistrate has ordered the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to investigate and submit a report over a complaint about the alleged illegal assets gained by model Piumi Hansamali.
Heritage properties are major tourist attractions world over. Sri Lanka is no exception in this matter. From Colombo, Galle, most of the mountain cities including Nuwara Eliya, Bandarawela, Hatton and Kandy and in the North, hundreds of heritage properties are spread across.
