Minister of Health Maithripala Sirisena who visited the Lady Ridgeway Hospital in Borella today was left in a rather embarrassing situation when the elevator he was in, was stuck for 15 minutes.

The Minister had attempted to get to the 9th floor of the hospital but found the door would not open. He was brought down to the 8th floor but officials found the entrance was blocked. The entrance was later cleared and the Minister was escorted out of the elevator and through the surgery room. (Ranjan Kasthuri)
