Over to you Traffic Police

As a resident of Rajagiriya and a frequent user of the local post office (10107) I parked my car and went to post a few letters.

On my return to the car and about to drive off came a private bus with the driver screaming at me for having taken his space.

After the bus went off to turn, a passerby came to me and said that he had heard the bus driver shouting at me and said that all the buses have their bay on the main road.

He also told me that bus driver had hit his parked car and broken the tail light.

On talking to the people near the Post Office I discovered that the private buses are allowed to behave like this by Police officers.

If those who want to wear the Khaki and earn from the Sri Lankan public they should do their duty. We need law and order in and near the Rajagiriya P.O. We, the public cannot be treated like this by violent and abusive bus drivers.

Over to the law and order officers.

Over to you Eduction Minister

The trained teachers of National Colleges of Education of the academic year 2004/2006 completed their three years national diploma course including a year of internship training in different streams. They finished the above course in December 2006.

These teachers have been waiting for their posting for more than six months. Generally, the permanent appointment is given to the trained teachers of the Colleges of Education within three to four months, after completing their national diploma course.

Now it has already passed nearly six months, but there is no response to give appointments.

Although all the interviews have been conducted to give the appointments to these teachers, the posting has been done only in the Eastern and Sabaragamuwa Provinces.

The President promised to give their permanent appointments within three months under ‘Mahinda Chinthana’. But nothing has happened yet except the passage of time.

Consequently, these teachers suffer a lot without having a source of income to meet the day-by-day escalating Cost of Living. They cannot further depend on their parents’ income. Therefore, these teachers must be given appointments as soon as possible.

No receipts, no name, address board on licence on poultry meat (mutton, pork, beef) in Sri Lanka, but the CMC does not want to put these people to court.

Is it fit for human consumption?
