    Roshan Fernando Monday, 11 June 2018 12:22 PM

    These type of things should be shown in BBC, CNN and Al-Jezera!

    The send off of the noble officer by former LTTE carders shows that a new era is dawning in our motherland.

    Upul Rajapakaha Monday, 11 June 2018 07:27 PM

    extremely happy to see this and he is a real hero who got all the appreciations from innocent people. As a nation we need this kind of gentlemen more and more. He has already won thousands of hearts by doing his job properly ..

    Niro D Monday, 11 June 2018 07:53 PM

    I am so happy to see the genuine appreciation shown by these simple people. The officer is an example to all. People do not want conflict or war. They want to live in peace and harmony. Let the International community see this. Let the Tamil Diaspora see this. They live abroad without any desire to return to Sri Lanka and turn the wheels of hatred.

    SL Monday, 11 June 2018 08:10 PM

    these type of stuffs need more publicity than useless speeches from politicos..

    Anfas Ameer Monday, 11 June 2018 08:21 PM

    i cant believe my eyes.... Hats off Colonel Rathnapriya Bandu. example of a real hero..

    Ram Tuesday, 12 June 2018 07:31 AM

    Sorry to hear the Sivajilingam's statement regarding this event!

    gowri Tuesday, 12 June 2018 12:56 PM

    I can't believe my eyes. Hats off Colonel Rathnapriya Bandu. Our country need people like you noble Sir. Tears in my eyes to see this believable scenes.

    Paul Sunil Abeyesekera Thursday, 14 June 2018 07:26 AM

    This Officer should be given a promotion and sent back so hat he cold continue the good work and inspire others to follow his good examples. This will finally halt the false propaganda dished out by crooked Tamil Politicians.
