The wrath of the Gods are now plain to see. They are angry at the country and where it is going. Unfortunately, the innocent are the victims.

How about Welikada prison area.

No proper drainage system in Sri Lanka. So this is the result. People are only interested to put up flats and big offices.Govt must do something to stop this. If not more to come like this.
