What is the big problem of informing the public two three days earlier, this is utter nonsence.

Dont jump up and down for just 26 hour water cut. Our great king president is working so hard to develop this country with his hard working brothers. cant you bear one day without water? use tissues and drink bottled water like in singapore. you will not die if you miss few meals. didnt you see how our minister wimal weerawanse survived few days without food. our beloved defend secretary must take over all ministries under him. just wait people and keep loving our king and his family and be proud of them.

What is this? Every weekend there is a water cut and in the same areas. Why can't they do the necessary repairs in the dead of night?
