Mervyn de Silva threatens Divaina
journalist (CLICK HERE FOR A PIC OF THE IDIOT) The Island 23 Oct 2001 Yesterday, our sister paper the Divaina had an uninvited visitor in the form of pint-sized People’s Alliance organiser for Colombo Central, Mr. Mervyn De Silva, and five well built tough looking men accompanying him. They had brushed aside security personnel at the entrance to the premises of Upali Newspapers and forcibly entered the editorial offices of the newspaper. He was in an angry mood and demanding from those present to identify the reporter Janitha Seneviratne. With a pointed forefinger he went around asking the editorial staff - ‘Are you Janitha Seneviratne’. But the reporter was not in office at that time. Mr. de Silva had abused journalists in vile language and threatened them with death. Spotter: Ranil Bibile |

Unserviceable railway wagons (Daily News 26 Oct 2001) "Almost every railway station in the Puttalam District possesses its quota of unserviceable railway wagons in advanced stages of decay. They've been there over the years with apparently no effort made to sell them for scrap. They have their uses however. Bootleggers hide their liquor in them, and these are safe havens for prostitutes to ply their trade. (With wine and women the service must now be said to have improved! - Ed) |
