Provide water facilities without racial discrimination!
Delina (18) of Batticaloa has lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission alleging that fundamental rights have been violated due to the non-provision of water which is one of the basic needs.
She is making this complaint on behalf of the people of the Ranamadu area in Batticaloa.
Delina, a resident of No. 15, Boundary Road South, Thandaveli, Batticaloa, has lodged a complaint against the Water Supply and Drainage Board alleging that the people are in dire need of water, which is a basic need.
She further stated in her complaint:
‘Water is something that man needs. Everyone has the right to access water. No one can take away that right. The water supply to the surrounding Sinhalese people has been provided, but racial discrimination is so rampant that it is impossible to provide water to the villages where the Tamils live. ‘
She further called on the Human Rights Commission to intervene to provide immediate water to the people of Ranamadu and to solve their problems.
Delina complains that the Batticaloa Municipal Council should take action to drain the water as the mosquitoes breed on the road due to the retention of water during the rainy season. She points out that this problem persists for approximately 4 months after the end of the rainy season.
