Colombo, April 4 (Daily Mirror) - Roads in Colombo and several other areas will be closed from this evening until Sunday (April 6) due to the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Police said.

The Indian Prime Minister will arrive in the country at the Bandaranaike International Airport this evening.

Police said a special traffic and security plan will be implemented.

Accordingly, the Colombo–Katunayake Expressway and Baseline Road will be closed intermittently between 6 PM and 10 PM today.

The Police requested passengers arriving at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) during that period to take note of these temporary road closures and plan their travel accordingly.

On April 5, roads in the Galle Face area, Independence Square vicinity, and around “Ape Gama” in Battaramulla will also be closed from time to time.

JUST GOES TO SHOW YOUR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE!!. We are a UNDERDEVELOPED SMALL COUNTRY, WE DO NOT HAVE THE PUBLIC ROADS TRANSPORTATION LIKE MOJORITY OF OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE, SO THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED WHEN A HIGH RANKING FOREIGN VISITOR ARRIVES. SECURITY has to be beefed up as we have some gun trigger happy lunatics in the country and INDIA has brought in their own SECURITY too like ALL other countries usually do.

yes keep this mindset forever and teach your kids too that we are an UNDERDEVELOPED SMALL COUNTRY, no wonder we cant move forward because of old goats like you still have the bulath wita mentality, do something for your nation at least a small part to push us forward, stop expecting other nations to spoon feed you for centuries

Don’t you know what happened to Rajiv Ghandi. I presume you were not born then. Once bitten twice shy. Do you expect India to walk over us if anything bad happens to India’s PM. Grow up.

Closing an expressway when many people use it to get yo the Airport? That is too much.

If these road closures had taken place during the regime of MR or GR JVP would have been screaming their lungs out and prepping for self immolation in Galleface protesting the absolute unjust road closures! Wonder what they think now at the helm

Politicians are the same! Selfish, stupid and utterly unconcerned about the people.

It’s intermittent closure . Not complete closure. Please understand the difference.

Absolute chaos. You can close roads but ensure alternative routes are planned and implemented. Instead what we see is utter incompetency by a stupid Police inconveniencing citizens to the hilt and aping around like monkeys. Never seen this level of stupidity and sheer incompetence.
