ADB is proposing to extend USD 150 million loan (with UDS 30 million cofinancing from AFD) to Sri Lanka’s power sector for Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Program (Tranche 2) with a focus to support wind-power development and identify the transmission and distribution projects for evacuation of renewable energy (wind) parks/ projects and overall improvement of energy efficiency and capacity development. 2. The subprojects of Transmission Infrastructure Enhancement of the Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Tranche 2 Program include: T-1 Construction of Polpitiya-Hambantota 220 kV Transmission Line T-2 Construction of Colombo B 132/11 kV Grid Substation (GSS) T-3 Augmentation of 220/132/33 kV Biyagama and Kotugoda, 132/33 kV Kolonnawa, 220/33 kV Mannar, Colombo C, and Kolonnawa Stanley Old Grid Substations T-4 Construciton of Padukka – Horana 132 kV Transmission Line T-5 Construction of 220/132/33 kV Hambantota, 220/33 kV Nadukuda and Biyagama Grid Substations T-6 Augmentation of 132/33 kV Ko Padukka, Horana, and Dehiwala Grid Substation T-7 Second Circuit Stringing of Habarana - Valachchenai132 kV Transmission Line T-8 Augmentation of 132/33 kV Madampe Grid substation 3. The Polipitya GSS, Habrana GSS and Padukka GSS were funded under previous ADB projects. The construction of substation involves utilisation of existing CEB lands for 220/33 kV Biyagama, 132/33 kV old Biyagama, Kotugoda and Kolonnawa Old GSSs, 32/11 kV Colombo B GSS, 132/33 kV Madampe GSS. The proposed 220/33 kV Hambantota GSS will be built on 10 acres government land (owned by Mahaweli Authority as shown in the New Zoning Map of the Greater Hambantota Development Area - 2030). The GSS land in Gonnoruwa, Hambantota is within the Managed Elephant Range (MER) and the line is located outside as shown in Figure 11. Very small numbers of trees have to be removed from the land at Hambantota GSS. For any sub-project, acquisition of land will not be required from any surrounding communities. 4. In case of construction of new transmission line, the project would involve survey work, forest work and clearance, design and engineering of plant equipment, floating tenders for procurement, civil work related to 220 kV line and 220/132/33 kV GSS testing and commissioning. Total project work is expected to be completed in 36 months. 5. Impacts are manageable and can be managed cost effectively - environmental impacts are likely to result from the proposed project development. Careful mitigation and monitoring, specific selection criteria and review/assessment procedures have been specified to ensure that minimal impacts take place. The detailed design would ensure inclusion of any such environmental impacts, that could not be specified or identified at this stage, are taken into account and mitigated where necessary. Those impacts can be reduced through the use of mitigation measures such as correction in work practices at the construction sites, or through the careful selection of sites and access routes. 6. The proposed project will have number of positive impacts and negative impacts to the existing environment as follows: Significant improvement in the quality and reliability of the electricity supply to the project affected area according to current demand is the main positive impact. 1 Removal of trees for the transmission line is the main negative impact to the proposed project area. Environment pollution due to cut and fill operations, transportation of construction materials, disposal of debris, disturbance to the farming activities, nuisance from dust, noise, vehicle fumes, black smoke, vibration etc. due to construction activities are the short term negative impacts due to proposed project. There will be loss of agricultural productivity due to obstruction and reduce the land of paddy fields as well as cutting of home gardens of coconut and timber trees which will be compensated based on established rates by CEB. 7. Benefits far outweigh negative impacts - The proposed project will improve operational efficiency and quality of power, reliability of the system and at the same time will reduce system losses. Supply of power to both the local areas and regions will boost economic development of the area by strengthening the power transmission infrastructure. Overall, the major social and environmental impacts associated with transmission projects are limited to the construction period and can be mitigated to an acceptable

  • Watawala Carolina Tea Factory
    Watawala MAP OF WATAWALA AND AROUND Carolina Tea Factory - Watawala TP - 94 (0) 11 4702400 . Carolina Tea Company of Ceylon Ltd. Incorporated in 1892 is one of the pioneer tea companies in the country, set up primarily to plant tea. It consisted of a group of plantations situated in Lower Dickoya. They were Agarawatte, Carolina, Kandawella, Mount Jean, Wigton, Udeapola Group, Trafalgar, Goarfell and St.Margaret Estates.The Management of this group that was originally with Leechman and Company changed to Mackwoods Estates & Agencies Ltd. at a later date. According to the times of Ceylon Green Book of 1939, this group had over 1,000 hectares in tea, 245 hectares in rubber, a few hundred coconut trees, and 726 hectares uncultivated, comprising a total extent at the stage was considered a substantial area for administration. The Carolina tea factory was one of the original "central factories" constructed by the river that ran by the estate, to avail themselves of water power. It was indeed an improvement to some of other factories of the day, with no mud floors and cadjan roofs. The building was of wood assembled firmly on stone pillars. It had three floors going up to the height of 42 feet from ground to ridge. Provision had been made for further expansion, but there was sufficient space to accommodate all the leaf not only from that group, but from many other adjoining plantations who were satisfied with a return of 9 cents (about 2p) per pound. The novelty was that very often than not, the green leaf arrived by train.

  • Buddhist-Christian Dialogue and Action in the Theravada Countries of Modern Asia------233
    Buddhist-Christian Dialogue and Action in the Theravada Countries of Modern Asia: A Comparative Analysis of the Radical Orthopraxis of Bhikkhu Buddhad åååsa and Aloysius Pieris By In-gun Kang, S.J. PhD Thesis Heythrop College, University of London 2012 - 1 - Abstract This thesis constructs a creative Buddhist-Christian dialogue and action, appropriate to the Theravada countries of Asia in the era of globalization. In the face of problems and challenges never experienced before, it asks how Buddhism and Christianity can act as a source of hope to the people who suffer from socio-economic injustice, religio- political conflicts, and environmental crises. It argues that an answer is found in the dialogue between two models of radical orthopraxis: Bhikkhu Buddhad åsa’s Dhammic essentialist praxis for human liberation and Aloysius Pieris’ dialogical integrationist action for justice and peace. Through a comprehensive study of each model, this thesis shows how each thinker develops a liberative spirituality of socio-spiritual transformation by radically returning to the originating sources of their respective religious traditions; and how they engage with the root problems of modern Thailand and Sri Lanka respectively, from their liberative thought and praxis. It is argued that Buddhad åsa’s Dhammic essentialism and Pieris’ dialogical integrationism are not contradictory, but enhance each other as counter-point movements, in their common vision and struggle to build a more just, peaceful and humanistic community. Through a comparative analysis of both models, this thesis reveals how Buddhad åsa and Pieris pursue their shared spirituality of spiritual detachment and social engagement in their respective grassroots communities, Suan Mokkh and Tulana, providing inspiration for our own Buddhist-Christian radical orthopraxis in the challenging situation of neo- liberal globalization.

  • SRI LANKA a Hidden Displacement Crisis
    31 October 2012 SRI LANKA A hidden displacement crisis More than three years after the end of the 26-year armed conflict between the Sri Lankan armed forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), nearly 470,000 people displaced during its various stages have returned to their home areas. This does not mean, however, that there is no internal displacement in the country any more. As of the end of September 2012, more than 115,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) were still living in camps, with host communities or in transit sites, A cyclone hits the return areas in northern Sri Lanka where people who had been or had been relocated, often against their displaced by the armed conflict continue to live in make-shift shelters constructed from old tin sheets and tarpaulins several months after their return. will, to areas other than their places of (Photo: NRC/October 2012) origin. Among those registered as having returned, many have not been able to achieve a durable solu- tion but continue to face difficulties in accessing basic necessities such as shelter, food, water and sanitation, in rebuilding their livelihoods, and in exercising their civil rights. De-mining op- erations are still ongoing in livelihood areas. Unresolved land issues have been a major obstacle to durable solutions for IDPs and IDP returnees. Conflict-affected areas remain highly militarised, which has made progress towards achieving durable solutions more difficult. The military has become an important economic player and a key competitor of local people including returnees in the areas of agriculture, fishing, trade, and tourism.
