@yudhanjaya While celebrating this news, I hope this model is replicated at other garbage collection centres. I pass the Karadiyana mound often and it sticks out like a sore thumb amidst a beautiful surrounding, polluting waterways and the ecosystem of birds and other creatures.

This is how people travel today in #Gammaduwa in Matale district
No vehicles can pass to remote villages like Inguruwatte abt 6km away, which had only one access road
Gammaduwa was badly affected in #CycloneDitwa wid highest rainfall of 540mm on 27-28Nov acdg to media reports

That's a good use of resources

Govt has directed Police to take action under emergency regulations against individuals circulating defamatory or fake claims targeting the President and the government during the disaster situation.

This comes despite the President reiterating that emergency powers are meant only for disaster response and not for other concerns.

@VatoMaha @kumanan93 Absolutely horrified

@CPASL @bfonseka @NewsfirstSL I have always believed that NPP is ideal for the opposition and never the government. Their strategies and stances are best suited for keeping a government in check while running a country is an entirely different ball game for which they came unprepared

Today, the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88.

He broke barriers as the first Latin American pope and inspired millions.

🧵 A tribute to his remarkable legacy.

[Mélanie Pereira @90_melanie]

@AnjulaHettige Definitely!

Interesting read. It is important to highlight all forms of racism, no matter how subtle. We minorities don't vote for "Sinhala-chauvinists" not because we're racists, but because some campaigns don't reach us in our mother tongue. Are we not worth the resources?

@AnjulaHettige This is 100 accurate! I know such people and can confirm that this is actually how they think

I stayed in Vietnam for 22 days, working and traveling across the country, mostly solo. This was my first time traveling solo to a SEA country and for every woman out there I highly recommend Vietnam because it’s safe, cheap & people are so nice.

Why do I feel like a spectator in the scheme of things?

[Sajith Premadasa @sajithpremadasa]

For the greater good of my country that I love and the people I cherish I hereby withdraw my candidacy for the position of President. @sjbsrilanka and our alliance and our opposition partners will work hard towards making @DullasOfficial victorious.
