We have a fleet of ministers now. Surely they can see to it.

Rain is a blessing from God.Too much of it is a sign of testing faith. The same way power is a blessing and too much of it also brings disaster when abused..

We need to study the pattern of floods and plan for a long term solution - keeping in mind an undergrond metro/subway for the colombo city. Also diverting flood water to beira lake too will ease the problem,later the lake could be made as a source of income for the gov-transport and tourism.
But we need patriot ministers with practical thinking and brains as how to start and complete it with available resourses. GOSL should put horses for the courses!

Govt is more worried about developing Hambamtota and not other areas.

the rain storm water system is completely out. the administrator needs to re-lay at the cost of the tax payer similar to one in Singapore. It is so disgusting even to note the surronding of beira lake flooded. A basic IQ will do to send the water to beira lake in seconds. But we have arm chair admins and engineers. Very soon Bamba to Kollupitiya will go under water.

GOSL is only interested in Mega Projects. Flood control in Colombo dos not fit into the picture.

Floods are good for Colombo. Don't you understand? That is why the Govt. is doing nothing about it.
