Needless drama by authorities Friday, 29 December 2023 01:01 PM

These complaints about dangers of everything and anything is authorities trying to show their worth. Cut the over-sized workforce of the CMC, instead of giving attention to the garbage media releases by the CMC.

Colombo is heart of economy Friday, 29 December 2023 03:22 PM

If Colombo falls then rest of the nation will not get imported products. Safeguarding the core of the economy is vital. Galle and Kandy are not important for countries development.

@colombo is heart of economy, you make a good point. But are Galle and Kandy not major hubs in Sri Lankan tourism which is driving the economy? Don't workers (the heartbeat of Colombo) travel from those districts?
