Despite this regular maintenance, we experience at least 2 to 3 power interruptions daily. The interruptions last from a few minutes to hours even. Experiencing them daily I could not fathom, what sort of maintenance work they have been carrying out every month. It is time that we voice loud to break this Mafia unit and insist on privatizing power supply.

A video started circulating in many social media platforms immediately after the results of the recently concluded presidential election in Sri Lankan was officially announced, where a group of claiming to be youngsters started beating war drums and openly threatening other communities living in the country. I decided to share the same on my Facebook wall with the title “ Is this what the country needs today ”? The purpose of the posting it is, hoping it would go viral and eventually get the attention of the authorities and put an end to such actions. Immediately after it appeared on my wall, many likeminded people of those war drummers in the said video started engaging me in heated arguments, defending their actions and some were even started hurling insult too at me. 12 hours later I got a message from the Facebook stating that they have removed the video from my wall after receiving many complaints as the video does not meet their set community standards. However, they h...

For almost three (03) weeks now, the Maharagama Municipal Council Garbage truck did not come to collect the garbage and things have started piling out at various places. It is an eyesore and not forgetting the health risks it poses too. Usually, the truck comes twice a week to collect the segregated garbage. The Council was called this morning and the switchboard was unaware of the situation but was kind enough to give a Public Health Inspector’s ( PHI ) phone number. That number rings eternally but the owner seems to be unaware of its existence and I could not help thinking of the purpose of giving such facilities to public servants if they do not how to put them to good use. The Chairman’s office was tried and after a few rings, it goes to a fax machine. The Vice Chairman’s number is no longer in operation, according to the automated recording being played. The Secretary’s office was called and after many rings, it was picked up by a gentleman called Indrajeeth . After a proper in...
