Twenty seven families were affected by land slides in Walapane D.S division in 2006, December. To this day, people continue to live in refugee camps in Naranthalawa. Before they were affected, they were engaged in the agricultural sector. They lost much of their agricultural land, due to these land slides, which has created uncertainty in their source of livelihood. Many of these families must go for a daily wage and became coolies. They are also nervous to go for action because of the D.S . But they continue to expect a sustainable solution for their livelihood and residences.
