Another Meethotamulla in the making in Beruwala – Imtiaz
SJB MP Imtiaz Bakeer Markar said in Parliament on Wednesday that a huge garbage dump has been created in the Beruwala Municipality area due to improper garbage disposal in the vicinity of Beruwala town.
He said that there is a big threat to the lives of people living in the vicinity of this garbage dump. This could also lead to another tragedy like Meethotamulla, the MP said.
Garbage is dumped in an improper manner in this area where mostly low-income people live. The responsibility of the health of the people living in these areas in Beruwala and Kalutara is not vested with the Provincial Council, but directly with the Central government, he said.
He also requested the relevant authorities to provide a sustainable solution for the waste disposal problem after discussing with all parties including the health, environmental and local government agencies in the region.
