The Solid Waste Management Project worth Rs.70 million in Ashraff Nagar in the Eastern Province was inaugurated by Eastern Province Governor Anuradha Yahampath on Monday.

The Akkaraipattu and Kalmunai Municipal Councils and the Sammanthurai, Nintavur, Karaithivu, Navithanveki, Alyadivembu, and Addalaichenai Predeshya Sabhas will get a lasting solution for their garbage problem with the opening of the new project.

A similar project was started in 2011 at an 18-acres land at the same place. But as the project was not properly designed, herd of elephants in surrounding areas fed on the waste here. They posed a grave threat to the people and many left Ashraff Nagar in fear.

Addalaichenai Predeshya Saba Chairman A.L.Amanullah was present. Governor Anuradha Yahampath planted a sapling to mark the occassion.
