Heavy traffic has been reported in Colombo Fort because of two separate protests staged by port employees and disabled soldiers, Police said.

They said Ceramic Junction and Bank Street have been temporarily closed because the protestors have blocked the roads.

Meanwhile, Galle Road has been closed because of Independent Day rehearsals.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes to avoid the traffic congestion.

What do they mean by alternate roads? Do they mean the airport expressway and exit the country?

Our country is more on strike than productivity and this shows how bad the leadership is. Weakness in leadership makws the down fall of economy and people wanted change and change has gone horribly wrong

Democracy becomes Demo-crazy. Draconian laws should prevail to stop this disturbance for the innocent public.

Does this mean we have to hand over the country to the former dictators? NO! Find a new dictator.
