Kelani contaminated by cancer-causing waste? Featured

It is not diesel, but a toxic carbonic waste disposed of by a beverage manufacturer, that had contaminated the Kelani River recently, said deputy director of the Maharagama Cancer Hospital Dr. Wasantha Senanayake.

He has told ‘Irida Divaina’ that this particular carbonic waste not only causes cancer, but also can render kidneys inactive.

The waste disposed of by multinational company Coca Cola’s Biyagama factory into the Kelani has caused much controversy.
