Wild elephants cause dispensary closure

A A L Dias- Matale district group corr

The Opalgala government central dispensary in Naula is not functioning due to the threat of wild elephants.

They cause great difficulties to the public residing around Opalgala.

Wild elephants roam the dispensary area constantly and the staff fear to attend for duties.

The people in the area who are inconvenienced have appealed to the government to clear the area as early as possible to ensure uninterrupted functioning of the dispensary.
