Indians operating in Northern Sri Lanka is of no concern of anybody but Chinese operating in Northern Sri Lanka is an “international crisis”. Are the Tamils in the North being treated as brainless zombies by the Indians and the Americans ?

Majority of the Jaffna Tamils resent that Indians are being given the government contracts for projects in the North. Our bottom line is we don’t want Indians in our midst in the North.

Good. At least something brining revenue to the country. We need to monetize and make use of our assets.

Despite approval given by GOSL is Adani prepared to work on behalf of India? Especially when successive SL government's keep stabbing India on its back when interest of China compete.

Originally a Chinese private company was awarded the contract and they started the work in Jaffna. Indians immediately protested that their national security was being compromised by the Chinese presence in Jaffna, this resulted in Sri Lankan government terminating the Chined contract and awarding it to the Indians. By threats and intimidations the Indians have achieved their objectives. But the Jaffna youths are not happy!!!!!!!

286 MW 234 MW = 520 MW, which should reduce the dependence on fossil fuel very much. Will the reduction in cost lead to reduction of electricity tariff?

These projects are akin to current situation to reduce dependency on fuel import, when we are starving without dollars. .

It was on news long time ago. Do not try to take unnecessary credit for what someone else initiated and part of the process.

Indians are further corrupting our politicians by bribing them to “ to win contracts to build projects using their third rate Indian technology and to sell poor quality products “.

Our railway tracks and railway bridges were built by the British. And our long distance locomotives were mainly Canadian,popularly called the Canadian Engines. All were doing well and served the Sri Lankan travellers for over 50 years. Now, after we have “surrendered” our railway infrastructure to India, see how many problems we are facing now. To start with look at the railway bridges the Indians had built in the northern line, so many of them had collapsed within just five years of building them.

Once the sun rays land on the earth, once the wind blows and passes by, it is gone and lost forever. If anyone can intervene and harvest it and convert it to something useful like energy why not allow them to do it? Does it matter from where they are? Else it would be like the proverbial 'dog in the manger'. If no one else is willing and resourceful to harvest nature's gifts, let anyone from anywhere harvest it and make something out of it. If the country can benefit in some way in the process that would be great.

The much maligned Indians are systematically making inroads into Sri Lanka and it's assets in the pretext of being friends. Third grade Indian technology will drag this country to a junkyard soon.
