    Well said Vijay,
    You came up with the all time best suggestion. I second it.

    Concerned Friday, 30 May 2014 07:59 AM

    If this profession is combined with Packer's or D.R,W Mawatha, Casino, then Police will never dream of raiding. They can raid Maradana brothels easily without facing any wrath from the top. That is the difference

    Go and raid the 3 or 4 operating casinos in the city and you will get the same prostitution there Thai, Chinese and Lankan girls as well,.. Police have become master's dogs.

    Buckman Friday, 30 May 2014 10:29 AM

    Damn,. I wouldn't have gone to Borella & Dematagoda and Wattala, If I knew that there was one at Maradana.

    From time immemorial Maradana was famous for the oldest profession. There were many bawdy songs about Maradana that school boys used to sing. As someone said the Cops had not been paid the monthly dues. via DM iPad app

    YES it is... so says the Penal code of Sri_Lanka, IF not..on what grounds are the hoes arrested with the clients?

    Trene Saturday, 31 May 2014 04:42 PM

    They should arrest the big fish not the girls.

    shane Monday, 02 June 2014 07:30 AM

    Whats wrong with nude dancing I do it in da toilet all da time besides if there is service then there is people to buy

    udari Friday, 30 May 2014 03:26 AM

    This is a big problem alright, because they are bringing girls as young as 14 to Colombo to please the men. they are being put to prostitution, used as nude dancers, and various other things, If you think this is not a matter for the police I am so sorry that you don't respect women. This is a major problem. But the thing is the law is very lenient on these offences and real offenders. In the end they are penalizing the victims. i.e, the women. where as the pimps, middlemen, brothel owners and the 'customers' go scotfree

    Punchi Banda Thursday, 29 May 2014 08:00 PM

    Utter waste of money and energy. Most likely the people concerned were not paid their monthly dues.

    alfie Thursday, 29 May 2014 09:27 PM

    Is this all the Police can do? Is this the biggest problem faced by the country? The country is being sold for a song. There is widespread corruption. Rapists, drug dealers and murderers have a free run. ...and we can only arrest prostitutes...Certainly a wonder of not just Asia but the Universe...

    fawzan Thursday, 29 May 2014 10:14 PM

    Chinese pros pay penalty of 10/= as per court orders. I wonder whether the same is applicable to Sri Lankan pros as well

    Benj Friday, 30 May 2014 12:32 AM

    I dont get this. What is wrong in 2 consenting adults having fun? Seriously is robbing and corruption in billions of Rupees ok? What is wrong in these women earning a few extra thousands of Rupees? Politicians stealing billions of Rupees is acceptable right? Pathetic to the maximum.

    Dayawathie Friday, 30 May 2014 01:51 AM

    What seems to be the problem if two consenting adults
    want to have sex ?. This has been the case from beginning of the human race.

    mc jaiz Friday, 30 May 2014 07:36 AM

    Yeah police only can raid brothels n barsWhile the rest of criminals doing their nasty works as if its legal If this country is a better place A wonder in other words People wont sell their sex to other people Simple as that

    Ranger thomas Friday, 30 May 2014 02:54 AM

    Legalize the profession and make Maradana a fun city.

    Black George Friday, 30 May 2014 03:24 AM

    SL is s third world under developed country in many ways. So there is corruption and nepotism. Shameful state of affairs.

    Thomas Friday, 30 May 2014 06:01 AM

    If it happens in High Places, it becomes Part of the Casino game

    Small timers in trouble

    ANTON Friday, 30 May 2014 07:20 AM

    THERE WAS A SIGN BOARD NEAR A BROTHEL........

    NOT ON CREDIT
    INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS AND CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED

    Ashvi Friday, 30 May 2014 07:22 AM

    Please talk responsibly we want to live in a moral society... not want to have prostitutes all over. We should work towards all means of violence against women, regardless of the fact they get money or not.

    Dee Friday, 30 May 2014 07:25 AM

    Oh! the police is solving the biggest issue faced by SL is it?

    suresh Friday, 30 May 2014 07:26 AM

    Yes. Its good that this was done. There's no pleasing some people. If they were not arrested people will say they are not being arrested.
