Introduction Earthquake near Indonesia The Indian Ocean region was gripped by panic when another massive underwater earthquake on 28 March 2005 devastated the Indonesian island of Nias. The death toll is said to be in the region of 1,000. Tsunami warnings were issued in the region, including in Sri Lanka, India and Malaysia and the people in coastal areas were quickly evacuated to safer places. On hearing the news about the earthquake over the BBC and from international agencies, members of the Tamil community living abroad and community organisations immediately contacted organisations and individuals throughout the north-east region and southern areas, to pass on the warning.

  • Different Levels of NGO Engagement and Reactions of the Government: Assessing the Sri Lankan Experience

Successive governments have welcomed NGO and foreign donor funds for large scale construction projects. At the same time, with the support of Sinhala nationalist groups, governments have also portrayed NGOs and foreign donors as imperial agents. This criticism has been used against NGOs involved in the promotion and protection of human rights, especially in the war affected areas. This inconsistent behaviour of governments towards NGOs and foreign donors reflects opportunistic politics.

  • CHAPTER 9 Urban Transport System Development Program (1) for Promotion of Public Transport Use 9.1 Monorail Systems
    Urban Transport System Development Project for Colombo Metropolitan Region and Suburbs Technical Report 6: Urban Transport Master Plan CHAPTER 9 Urban Transport System Development Program (1) for Promotion of Public Transport Use The urban transport system development program (1) consists of the projects for the urban transport policy 1: Promotion of Public Transport Use. 9.1 Monorail Systems Based on the corridor analysis, the Malabe corridor has 60,000 vehicles entering the city and this is the highest compared to the other six corridors. Besides, the Malabe corridor, Low level road corridor and Horana corridor are the only major corridors without rail-based public transport. Fort-Malabe corridor has been identified as the corridor which requires a rail-based transport system urgently. To make the most use of a monorail system on the Malabe corridor, which serves east-west direction travel in the metropolitan area, a north south monorail line should be added to serve other major destinations in the city. 9.1.1 Multi-Modal Transport Hub and Multi-Modal Centre Each mode of public transport should be interconnected to function as a network. Public transport modes, including railways, inter-provincial buses, intra-province buses and new transit modes such as bus rapid transit (BRT) and monorail should be integrated. Railway, Monorail, and BRT as well as inter-provincial and city buses come to Fort station and Pettah terminal. However the present station and three bus terminals are located separately and this is not convenient for passengers. Interchange facilities should be integrated and located at one place. The Multimodal Transport Hub shall function as an interchange facility for railway passengers, monorail passengers, and BRT passengers as well as ordinary bus passengers.
