Long-time DCC supporters will surely remember the vile actions of Hemakumara Nanayakkara, the ex-governor in our area. Although the entire province benefits greatly from the DCC, my clinic has been a thorn in his side since the beginning. Why? Because I didn't buy his property at the time I built up the clinic. I purchased another adjacent property because it was cheaper. When he was appointed governor years later, he then shamelessly used his power to harass and bully us. Countless authorities were sicced on us, rumors were spread and demonstrations were instigated. But we were able to defend ourselves against all attacks. Then it was quiet for a long time, but now he has found a new way to harm me and the DCC. We have a sophisticated sewage system at the DCC. This includes a sewer that runs the entire length of one of the sides of the property. When the clinic was built, I built a wall in front of this sewer to prevent the dogs from falling in. As the canal runs behind the clinic wall, Hemakumara now claims that it does not belong to the DCC but to his property. He had the canal drained and filled it in with garden waste. This means a huge disaster for us! There is a very high risk of flooding during heavy rainfall. The majority of the clinic area would be affected. I am now forced to have a new canal built almost 200 meters long. The capacity of our water treatment plant is not large enough. We have to create a completely new water circuit. This is another completely unexpected five-figure expense! |
