    Palaly should be developed soon but I wonder why India is trying to develop it? I have seen at many places where India throws suggestions to Sri Lanka just like giving suggestion to another state of India.

    Ravi Tuesday, 18 September 2018 12:14 PM

    Bloody Indians must be thinking that Palali air port belongs to them.

    Ex Police Tuesday, 18 September 2018 01:33 PM

    I served in the Jaffna Police in 1987 and I saw the decimation of Jaffna by the Indian Army. What do the Jaffna Tamils think about the Indians developing the Palaly Air Port.

    MORE TO THINK Tuesday, 18 September 2018 06:29 PM

    In fact the jaffna girls will have much to say on the meticulous body searches of what the indian calls their javans.

    Ranjith Tuesday, 18 September 2018 07:44 PM

    Dear Ex Police, it is true the IPKF destroyed entire Jaffna peninsula in indiscriminate shelling and mass human rights violations, especially the Jaffna hospital massacre and VVT massacre. The atrocities Indians done in North and East cannot be forgotten easily. But, what happened since the Indians left is much bigger and more devastating in terms of human lives and destruction of the land. But no one talks about it. It is much easier for us to talk about other's wrong doings and not about ours.

    Jaffna students Wednesday, 19 September 2018 07:59 AM

    We do not want the Killers and Abductors coming back to “help” us to improve theAirport.

    Zub Tuesday, 18 September 2018 01:55 PM

    Why do Indians like Palali Airport why not they do up our central bus stand or the Fort Railway station

    OUT Tuesday, 18 September 2018 06:31 PM

    Tom Jones Tuesday, 18 September 2018 02:19 PM

    Sri Lankan’s cannot do any job because they are commission kakas, and paga Maruwas. They can only run kassippu dens, heroin clubs and brothel houses.

    Sumal Tuesday, 18 September 2018 02:22 PM

    Thanks Wimal for your comment.

    Lokka Tuesday, 18 September 2018 03:46 PM

    They develop the airport because North of this country will soon be a part of India

    hans perlee Tuesday, 18 September 2018 06:52 PM

    The North will belong to India and the rest of the country to China.

    Gemba's appa Tuesday, 18 September 2018 06:41 PM

    Will they be digging? If so watch out. They might hide things to use later.

    hans perlee Tuesday, 18 September 2018 06:49 PM

    Can we do nothing our self? Do we really need India or China for everything?

    raman Wednesday, 19 September 2018 08:43 AM

    All you patriotic idiots on this forum: Don't you know that practically everything in this country was built by foreigners?? Katunayaka, Ratmalana and all the airfields were built by the RAF. All the ports are foreign-built. The railways and main roads are all foreign built. So what else is new?
