@NewsWireLK In a few years, we'd have celebrated victory for 20 years. Isn't it time we turn the day into a remembrance day, and for once, let Tamil people remember their dead in peace?
The Railway Department says train services along the Kelani Valley Railway line have been disrupted due to a mechanical fault on a train.

There’ll be no humanizing New York Times profile of this boy.
The Empire State Building won’t illuminate for his murdered siblings.
No US politician will condemn his kidnapping, or express an ounce of sympathy for his unfathomable loss.
Why does his grief mean so much less?
Udaya Gammanpila being pilloried on national television for his inveterate racism in a country that has exonerated Dr. Shafi Shihabdeen... I have never enjoyed being a Sri Lankan as much as right now
It is highly irresponsible of journalists and broadcasters to post unconfirmed claims about mass murderers while thinking the word “allegedly” absolves them of fanning the flames of anti-migrant and anti-Muslim tensions.
This now deleted tweet of @ThatAlexWoman is no different to that of @daveatherton who falsely claimed the Southport killer was a Palestinian and the Magdeburg attacker was a Syrian — all proven to be baseless disinformation.
You can forgive a low IQ unkempt racist bigoted grifter like Dave, but to see journalists like Alex posting unverified rumours is simply reckless.
Now that we know the school shooter in Sweden was a white man called Rickard Andersson, will we see the same energy and passion from “patriots” in condemning white mass murderers, that we do with unconfirmed rumours of non-white criminals?
I doubt it very much, and that speaks volumes.
@oscar_thom3520 @HatimASkyray@NewsWireLK Policies should not be implemented on the only on the basis of morality, rather scientific and economic reasoning.
A drive to ban all addictive substances will only cause the black market to boom. Case in point, what’s happening with cigarettes and alcohol right now.
@oscar_thom3520 @HatimASkyray@NewsWireLK Nope, not at all. I think it’s an infringement on a consumers right to choose. In your line of reasoning, we should also then ban all social media because it causes addiction, ban extra sugar or sweets, which also causes addiction and is a gateway to disease. 1/2
