    This traffic jam is fast selling item, earlier it was at Bamba, and now at Kollupitiya, also I see them at Dehiwala up to Mount Lavinia too.

    this needs to be done , the morale is going down.

    lyza Monday, 13 May 2013 09:01 AM

    Yeah, if you don't risk getting groped by the masses. I would also advise you not to take a DSLR camera.

    Rajapakse Day

    Aghast Monday, 13 May 2013 08:07 AM

    Good rhetorical question. Why not combine this with the national day and change the name to "Independence and Reconciliation Day"?

    Freedom Monday, 13 May 2013 08:06 AM

    please celebrate the Victory day ceremony At Hambantota....Week days people are having a hard time .....

    Buffaloa Citizen Monday, 13 May 2013 07:46 AM

    It doesnt matter, you can still buy from the closest black market...ask any policemen where it is.

    Buffaloa Citizen Monday, 13 May 2013 07:44 AM

    When the dumb hench-aiyas who are orgnaising this feel the Kings ego is satisfied.

    Buffaloa Citizen Monday, 13 May 2013 07:41 AM

    Then the tamils in wellawatte cannot see it.

    ANTON Monday, 13 May 2013 07:29 AM

    BY THE WAY , ARE LIQUOR SHOPS CLOSED ON VICTORY DAY ?

    saman Monday, 13 May 2013 07:29 AM

    I suggest , they should use Mattala Intl Aiport for such event !
    they can rehearse nearby MR Cricket ground !

    Justice Seeker Monday, 13 May 2013 07:30 AM

    Get us airways then at bus fare if you are so desperate in having such rehearsals.

    bambuwa Monday, 13 May 2013 07:10 AM

    What a pathetic situation! Took me close to 2 hours to move 5KM! Why can't you rehearse somewhere else for everyones sake! Would the US ever have a military parade rehearsal in Wall Street!!

    Ann Monday, 13 May 2013 07:03 AM

    Any idea if the general public can view the parade? maybe take a few pics? (for a blog.. not to bash anyone.. just to write about the parade)

    dIREsTRAITS Monday, 13 May 2013 06:52 AM

    All SAD days for the joe public!

    Melfort Monday, 13 May 2013 05:02 AM

    The poor man is always at the receiving end. What a pity.

    King Kong Monday, 13 May 2013 06:37 AM

    No, no this is to remind the Sinhalese people that I liberated the country from LTTE this day, So all public funds and Govt. assets are belong to my family & me.

    lyza Monday, 13 May 2013 06:36 AM

    Any idea what time the rehearsals /traffic restrictions will end ?

    ban Monday, 13 May 2013 06:31 AM

    who cares people ?

    arp Monday, 13 May 2013 06:29 AM

    We have 'Independence Day', 'Republic Day', 'Victory Day' and don't know what else will follow

    Just Another Citizen Monday, 13 May 2013 06:26 AM

    Victory Parade, whilst crime rate & corruption is on the increase. Excellent.

    Ranbanda Monday, 13 May 2013 06:11 AM

    Why can't they start @ 9 am , then the office crowed has already moved in. This will be good for both parties.

    surain Monday, 13 May 2013 06:06 AM

    take it to hambantota do this also there we have enough of problems in the country there is no victory we acheived all are suffering irrespective of where they come from people.

    LankaPuthra Monday, 13 May 2013 06:05 AM

    Yehiya Monday, 13 May 2013 06:06 AM

    we are unlucky nation still we didn't got the leader to love the country & focus to the economic growth.

    RW Monday, 13 May 2013 06:02 AM

    Nirmal Fernando Monday, 13 May 2013 05:43 AM

    Desahithsiyek Monday, 13 May 2013 05:44 AM

    Will move this parade to Jaffna, mulathiv or hambanthota.

    rathne Monday, 13 May 2013 05:32 AM

    Why can't they organize this in Hambantota?????

    Coastal-beruwala Monday, 13 May 2013 05:17 AM

    people have to pay for this rehearsals cost also as their vehicle's fuel vested in this traffic jam!

    Chewing Gum Monday, 13 May 2013 05:03 AM
