A tense atmosphere prevailed during a monthly meeting of the Balapitiya PS last morning (10) due to an augment between the Chairman and the Vice Chairman over a proposal to do away with the contract system and to implement projects by employing laborers.

Vice Chairman Sarath Samarajeewa de Silva accused Chairman Dayaratna De Silva of not including the proposals in the agenda. The altercation led to a chaotic situation that delayed the proceedings, however the meeting resumed after the members intervened and settled the dispute. Tex and Pix by Hemantha De Silva

Balapitiya? I am surprised there were knife fights. Balapitiya people are known to be some of the most violent.

Our Naatames in Pettah are more civilised in sorting out their day to day issues. These men in white elected to represent the people in the running of their affairs are behaving like hooligans. Money and share of the under the table transactions are the cause. via DM iPad app
