Another mishap in the offing...

This bridge is building no bridges with the public Monday, 27 November 2023 12:01 PM

Looks like this bridge has seen no maintenance since I left Colombo in 1987. Safety of pedestrians is number one priority.

They won't fix it until some people were dead. After accident, they will send the inquiry team and arrange a commission to inspect all the public bridges in Colombo(but only this one needed to fix immediately) and also they have to settle down the payments to beneficiaries. AFTER ALL THESE CRAP finally all the expenses will be 100 times higher than simply fixing this bridge before when it comes to their attention.

Please wait till someone injure herself/himself. Put the blame on the successive governments and or GMRs for lack of attention in maintenance

Sad state indeed. We need to blame ourselves, appointing corrupt, uneducated people to the Parliament. Cant blame them when things go wrong. Thats my take

Voters themselves are to be blamed for the choices they made in the past. Though sad, they made their bed so they have no choice but to lie in it.

There must be engineers assigned to look after these places an MP for the area, councillors for the ward ,good to get their explanations.What is the budget allocation for such work how was it spent who inspects, such basic questions will give the answers no need to waste time with committees maybe public officials MPS should use public transport more often to gauge the true picture

When somebody falls directly to the tracks through the bridge, politicians will wake up.

So THIS is what the tax-payer's hard earned money is getting us?????? This sort of thing has to be expected when unqualified buffaloes who are only greedy to fill up their pockets and their guts are elected to parliament!!! Now lets appoint ANOTHER committee to look into this manner and waste more time and money!

The budget increased the resources to maintain former Presidents, and Ranil keeps going on foreign tours at tax payers expense. No funds to safeguard public.

IF such negligence happens in COLOMBO, anyone could imagine the extend of negligence in outer Colombo.
