Floodwaters and mud inundate around 30 houses in Hatton
Around 30 houses in the Pilihatara area in Hatton have reportedly been inundated with floodwater and mud following the overflowing of the Hatton Oya.
Floodwater and mud reportedly reached heights of around three to four feet within the affected houses.
Residents in the area and neighbours have made strenuous efforts to rescue those trapped inside the houses.
Residents claim that their houses are repeatedly affected by such incidents due to the overflowing of a canal that carries water into the Hatton Oya, reportedly caused by an obstruction in the waterway.
The affected residents also said that household belongings and other personal property had been destroyed by the floodwaters.
