The Sri Lanka Grama Niladhari Union has leveled a severe allegation against ruling party politicians, accusing them of forcibly interfering in the process of distributing relief to victims of the recent severe disaster, and pressuring state officials.

A horrific road accident in the Denimala area of Sapugaskanda today (11) involving a jeep belonging to former Speaker and current Member of Parliament Ashoka Ranwala has raised serious questions about the conduct of politically powerful individuals.

While the current National People's Power (NPP) government’s widely publicised 'Disaster Relief Packages' remain trapped in bureaucratic files and promises, reports indicate that Harin Fernando, a prominent leader of the United National Party (UNP), has provided direct relief to flood-affected residents in the Badulla District, the area he long represented.
