Sri Lanka, July 28 -- Residents of Hatton are alleging that a portion of the town's daily waste is ending up in the Mahaweli River.

They claim that waste discharged by the Hatton-Dickoya Urban Council into the Hatton Oya eventually flows into the Mahaweli River.

According to locals, a large amount of rubbish is being dumped into the Hatton Oya, particularly near the Malliappuwa junction in Hatton.

The public is urging authorities to address this issue immediately.
