WE MUST BE HAPPY TO SEE IRRIGATION TANKS INSTEAD OF SEEING ARMORED TANKS.

During the Sri Lankan civilisation in the South,it’s water irrigation technology was considered the most advanced in the world,better than Indian,Chinese,or Arab technologies,and the Europeans were nowhere near the Sri Lankans in any shape or form.

Have you been to Italy. Europe don't have water shortage.

Better to renovate two dozen tanks 100% than 2400 incompletely.

My goodness ! That's quite a fattened tyre around the presidential belly ! Perks of the job I guess.

Happy to see the President wearing Trousers! The Sarong is a restriction to Physical Activity. That is why Workers prefer Shorts or Amude'!

yaka mahathaya Saturday, 03 March 2018 02:24 PM

why do they involve army ? to save labor costs i guess. because if the local peasants are provided job opportunities the govt will have to pay them wages..militarisation in north is creeping to southern part as well.
