    Mr. President, this is a recurring problem in these areas. i.e Aranayaka, Detol-oya, Bulathkohupitiya, Undugoda, etc,etc. It is a MUST to find a permanent solution.People still live in these valnurable areas must be evacuvated and safer land shold be allocated to them for re-settlement, from Ambadeniya Estate, Karadupona Estate, Golinda Estate, Illwana and Bossella Divisions of Parambe Estate, Higgoda Estate and Yatidariya Estate.These Plantations find if difficult for labour at present as well.
