The A32, the shortest link between Jaffna and Mannar, is also the only practicable access route to the communities of Vidatthaltivu, Mundampiddi, Vellankulam and Devil’s Point. This road had been all but destroyed during the 1983-2009 war, and the lives and livelihoods of people resettled in the area were seriously affected due to its poor condition. The Government of Sri Lanka initiated rehabilitation and improvement works to the road with Chinese funding. The principal Chinese contractor, CHEC, subcontracted the work to Access Engineering PLC.
