The group of farmers, who were engaged in a ‘Satyagraha’ demanding water for cultivation purposes, have called off their campaign after the irrigation authorities released water from Samanalawewa reservoir to the Udawalawe reservoir, reports say.
The All-Ceylon Agrarian Federation (ACAF) staged a Satyagraha campaign in late July, urging the government to release water from Samanalawewa reservoir to Udawalawe reservoir.
The farmers had vowed not to abandon their cause until their demands were met.
