i saw your letter just now. we had very bad weather last week. thunder showers with lightnings. there was a skip of mountain in a village next to us. 32 death reported and more than 300 injured.i too went there with several workers.. and did every thing what we could. we stayed there for two days.. the others from surrounding estates too came. we built a camp there. that means small tents. our security forces were so busy. More than 100 people transferred to the general hospital in Colombo by ambulances.. Anyway now all cleared.
authorities came to our estate too and took some soil samples. and said no danger. . this is not the rainy season here.normally we get such rains during December and we give vacation for one month for our workers. this time rains came earlier . yes weather is also changed. we could not do anything last week.. so today we started. our workers busy.
they are repairing dams drains. and do clearing works. Still not started plucking leaves.
Will start it after full moon 6th. need to clear all small foot paths in the estate.
