Steps are currently being taken to fill the sinkhole which has yet again opened up along the Colombo-Galle main road in Wellawatte, near the Roxy cinema.  The lane affected by the sinkhole has been closed for vehicular traffic.


The sinkhole which had opened up several times before due to heavy rainfall was repaired but had re-appeared again. Motorist are advised to take alternative routes to avoid any inconvenience (GS)

    We are a nation of ball passes and waiting for miracles to happen.

    It is the end of the world.

    It is unbelievable that this could not be rectified.

    Story began in 2007. It was filled in 2008 but tar barrels appeared again within 3 months. Now it is back to 2007 condition. This is the promised land we live.

    Housni are you crazy? This is due to holes in the brains of our leaders.

    milli Sunday, 17 October 2010 06:12 AM

    how deep are these holes?

    Baba Boo Sunday, 17 October 2010 08:00 AM

    Sri Lanka is a island and as such the whole country would sink.

    Housni Sunday, 17 October 2010 07:25 AM

    It's probably due to the soil erosion caused by the sea which is close by. I wish they'd first fix the root of the problem.

    Louise Sunday, 17 October 2010 07:17 AM

    Responsible Authority, please fix it once and for all. The last repair has lasted just 3 years - a waste of money and our time.

    1 hour delay to get home after work 4 6 months?...

    AF Sunday, 17 October 2010 06:53 AM

    This is existing more than one year, CMC and RDA passing the ball to each other. As these inefficient institutes unable to solve this problem I think defence secretary has to intervene and sort this out.

    deyyiya Sunday, 17 October 2010 06:50 AM

    Isn't this the story of Sri Lanka...there are holes in the system and we all ignore it and work around it....nothing new here

    angel Sunday, 17 October 2010 06:41 AM
