seated keeping their feet away from the water.
According to sources, the Principal of the school
has been repeatedly requesting the APWD authorties
to redesign the drain which fails to drain out the water
ever since the risen sea level after the 2004tsunami.
During the high tide, the drain empties all the water

sit in our class rooms all soaked and our unforms and
shoes smeared with muddy water,” bemaoned a large
