People in villages affected by the drought could contact the 117 hotline to obtain water bowsers for their areas. The Disaster Management Centre says over 200,000 people have been affected by the prevalent drought.
Water facilities will be supplied to those affected based on requests made by district secretaries.Village locals in Batticaloa, Vavuniya, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura and Monaragala are compelled to travel for miles on foot in search of water.
