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.
