Fails WP:GNG – The subject lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Available references (e.g., Mapcarta, GeoNames) are routine directory-style listings and do not establish notability per WP:GEO or WP:GEOLAND. Please consider merging this into a broader article such as Bamunakotuwa or Kurunegala District, if appropriate.
