I don't see the 4 stooges of R fame who are cleaning up the city. This is what is called development of the city by Kamil and his gang. Maybe they never expected the worst things to befall. How about some pix from the Kollupitiya and other areas. Now I can understand why they want the SEAL training because of this and many more. This is a better training ground for underwater expeditions.

These pictures are very sad to see but in Colombo All the rich people are facing the problem so what all these days God was punished the poor for a change he has come to Colombo.Please Send that Parkistan PM home soon other wise he will divert it to poor people's area as they did in his country. Hope he is not advising GOTA.
