Dear Police dept please let hotelier at least travel to work as there are staff who are stuck and working three shifts so there must be relief staff otherwise there will be countless casualties with the staff so give some relief to hospitality personnel as these are all essential services like doctors and nurses. Please do not keep extending curfew without giving a break for people to go home. So unfair

we all should appreciate the police department for their hard work. You have done a lot to maintain peace and we really appreciate it . 22m Lankans must be thankful to you. It is a most peaceful election for ever. Great news. NPP has a dynamic and sensible team of good people. So, no holding grudge or revenge at all. Now, we need unity among all Sri Lankan community . the talents, skills, energy, wealth and knowledge of each Sri-Lankan must be used to build this nation. We all know a lot of challenges ahead. We all know how to overcome them and gradually, we could recover from economic crisis if all work hard . This victory is not merely victory of NPP rather it is victory for people and for democracy. Let us respect people and their verdicts and plan out how to develop this country.

The tone is set from the top. The Election Commissioner, the incumbent president, and the law and order minister need to be congratulated on the conduct of the election. Also all the key candidates who focused on the main issue, the economy, rather the than the traditional war, race and religion need to be congratulated. Hope this is a watershed election that sets the tone for all subsequent one to follow. Whatever said and done the issues in the country over the past two years, and the conciliatory leadership that set the tone thereafter, has yielded some good. The forthcoming general election is an opportunity to clean the parliamentary stables of the voters undesirables.

Thanks to Ranil, it is peaceful. Next one under NPP will be the most violent.

Thank you Ranil for everything Sunday, 22 September 2024 07:06 PM

It is very rare in this nation of ours to see a leader who was busy with his day to day work, in the midst of election, where his own fate is in question. But this is Ranil - the Mr.Cool, Tissa! You said most us wanted to say to Ranil. He accomplished what others failed to even think of after assuming duties. Great job Ranil. We all - the countrymen owe you one.
