The Sri Lanka Red Cross
Society (SLRCS) has begun distribution of drinking water to IDPs in
welfare centres in Zone 4 of Manik Farm, Vavuniya, through the newly
installed Water Treatment Plant with purification facilities.75,000
litres of water will be distributed to IDPs daily through Red Cross
bowsers. SLRCS has planned to increase the distribution of water up to
200,000 litres per day from next week. Water will be obtained from a
nearby tank.
The decision to set up the water treatment plant was taken after the
recent visit of a Red Cross delegation headed by SLRCS President Jagath
Abeysinghe to Vavuniya, with Coordinating Secretary to the President,
(Parliamentary Affairs) Kumarasiri Hettige.
Water has been continuously provided by the Red Cross for more than
57,000 internally displaced people.
