Yet another valid reason for the fact that SL need Gota back! During his time, city dwellers never experienced such a bad situation near Beira.

This is not the first time this place is stinking. CMC Officials are having a nap and they have no idea to plan and upgrade this area. This is a historical place in Colombo

Another wonder of the paradise island !!! Lake smells as bad as the people in this land like no other !! Must be the sewage line from the parliament making the final mixture at the lake.

Mrs. Rosy the mayor is still painting her toilets. She won't have any time to worry about Beira lake.

Daily Mirror, what a shame to notice that vote base is manipulated here. Can see plus and minus manipulation on Gota related comments. What a shame!

How can we take a tourist into the city of Colombo with this awful stench?. Where is Rosy darling...all promises but nothing is done. Garbage is the order of the day. Get your act together YAHAPALANAYA jokers. Everybody wants Gota back for the wrong reasons.

So you expect Mrs Rosy to clean the mess. What we mean is that we need a good and strict administrator like Gota.

They should have built the Parliament in the middle of Beira lake instead of Diyawannawa.

Come on. Give Maithripala a break. He appeared from earth. Not from the water. So he cannot smell that beira lake. Hope he bought the newespaper.

What a shame to have a stinking area in the Colombo city. CMC should wake up and make sure this is cleaned up right away. It is an eye sore, as well as a major health hazard.
