Travel across the river..

This ice-cream seller ,used to travel across the river for his business.The river from Manmunai to Kokkaticholai can be only crossed by a ferry ("Paathai" in Local Tamil).There is a tar road running to kokkaticholai from the mainland-Batticaloa which is too long.Currently managed with 2 ferries.There were few fatal accidents in the middle of the river in the past.However the journey still continues for many people like this man.
