It's for their own good we presume, however lets hope they get alternate shelter soon!

Long overdue. The tin roofs protruding to the rail tracks was a nightmare to the railway commuters. Good, remove the rest along the KV line.

If Sri Lanka wants to enter the 2nd world, then all the shanties in & around Colombo need to be demolished and cleaned up.
These are an eye sore to everyone.
