This is the Dharmadweepa. Sri Lanka is HAMBANTOTA with harbours, airports, playgrounds and what-nots built to satisfy the ego of one single man trying to build a personality cult. Many peacocks and birds were killed and now they are becoming a hazard to these iron birds which had no right in their habitats.

Building that airport next to such a fragile eco system is nothinng but environmental criminality. Shut it down. Punish the people behind it.

it must be "delayed for more than an hour because of the Plane hitting a bird" . lets remove the airport and hand over the place back to the nature.
