    Passengers are helpless and the drivers too. Drivers had to take a huge risk by violating the speed limits. While they are on the work to rule see the timing. CGR management is foolishly setting the schedules without modifing the tracks. See the wonder ..... via DM Android App

    People take law into their hands when they loose confidence in law enforcement agencies and responsible authorities. Law of the jungle will be the final result. via DM iPad app

    When the Brits who are responsible for bringing proper roads and railways to Sri Lanka & ran the railways they say people could say the time, when the trains passed, as the trains ran on time .Well we have certainly gone backwards & not forward since then after our locals have taken over.!!

    Mahawa line Station Masters are very unnecessary people. Every day Mahawa line trains are late. They don't know how to handle their duties. Yesterday also trains are very late. Minister should look into this matter seriously. Passengers are facing very difficult situation every day.

    If you are going to insult people with a mildly obscene word, learn how to spell it at the least.

    We can't be happy with the incidents happening in Srilanka. Law and order is declining. Murders, Policeman being killed, Strikes, Certain groups creating violence and not being punished, corruption, frauds, politicians taking law into their hands..... and much more. Average citizen is fed up with this life style.

    The slow train to from Fort to Cilaw of 8.15 pm was delayed by 20 min last night.

    It reached Negombo with 35 min delay. (Thus, another 15 mins were delayed during the journey) I had to leave for the job again in the morning. very difficult.

    Assaults everywhere. Law and Order nowhere?
