Garbage dumps an eyesore on scenic route in the hills

Nuwara Eliya, too, is reeling under a mounting garbage problem. Rubbish heaps, including rotting vegetable refuse can be spotted along the Kandapola - Ragala main route, posing a health hazard as well as ruining the scenic beauty of the area. Residents complain that the Nuwara Eliya Pradeshiya Sabha has failed to find a suitable plot to dump vegetable and other refuse from the area shops.

Many motorists using the Kandapola - Ragala main road have also called on the authorities to find a solution to this eyesore.
