Tsunami waves,where people lost their lives during natural hazards. The present government is making every effort to narrow the persistent gap between the centre ( Colombo ) and the periphery ( Districts such as Hambantota ).Therefore , the government selected Hambantota as it is a district where huge potential is available for development. Specially, Land and natural resources.
