Sri Lanka• Floods Situation Report #1 11 November 2010 Sri Lanka• Floods Situation Report #1 11 November 2010 This report was issued by OCHA Sri Lanka. It covers the period from 10 November to 11 November. The next report will be issued on or around 13 November. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Flash floods have been reported in the districts of Colombo, Gampaha, Kalutara and Kegalle in South- Western parts of Sri Lanka, particularly in Colombo capital. While waiting for assessment results on the scope of the impact, the spiraling effects of traffic congestions, delays of trains, closure of school, electricity interruptions and disruption of several services are being faced by the emergency and rescue responders. • The total affected population as informed by the DMC as at 16.00 hrs on 11 November in all four districts is 186,893 persons or 42,646 families (the majority in Colombo district with 156,345 persons or 33,501 families. Requirements for assistance are currently being elaborated. • The Minister for Disaster Management, Minister Fowzie, has announced an allocation of LKR 10 million for flood response. • The DMC together with the District Secretary (Government Agent) Colombo and the Divisional Secretaries of the Colombo District are coordinating with the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN), Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) and other institutions on the response for the Flash Floods in Colombo. • There are reports of heavy rain in Anuradhapura District (North-Central region), and there are indications of sustained rain in Mulaitivu and Kilinochchi Districts (North region). No severe flooding has been reported. II. Situation Overview On Wednesday night, 10 Nov 2010, the district of Colombo experienced torrential rain with more than 440mm of rainfall, inundating most parts of Colombo city and surroundings (Ratmalana 274mm, Kurunegala 88mm, Ratnapura 67mm, Galle 40mm). The Director General of the Department of Meteorology commented it as the heaviest rains experienced in Colombo for 18 years. The Early Warning Centre of the Department of Meteorology issued a Bad Weather Advisory valid for 12 hours for 11 Nov, stating heavy rainfall and thundershowers with fairly strong winds across most parts of the island, and lightning activities occurring in the Southern part of the country (the inter-monsoon period with evening thundershowers is expected to persist until mid December). Flash floods have been reported in the districts of Colombo, Gampaha, Kalutara and Kegalle. Major roads leading outside of Colombo (Puttalam - Mannar Road through Eluvankulam, and Colombo-Kandy Road) are heavily congested with roads deemed dangerous. While waiting for assessment results on the scope of the impact, the spiraling effects of traffic congestions, delays of trains, closure of school, electricity interruptions and disruption of several services are being faced by the emergency and rescue responders. Taking precautionary measures, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has shutdown substations in certain parts of the city. The Police Department has also advised the use of Public Transport to avoid traffic congestion, and the Ministry of Education has instructed school principals to use their discretion on the closure of schools for the day. The GoSL have commented that the flash floods are largely due to the obstruction of flow of rain water in the draining ditches and canals by unauthorized constructions on the sides of the canals and improper bridges and culverts. Colombo has experienced similar floods in May of 2009. At present, DMC reports some housing damage, including 6 partially damaged houses in Kalutara District, and 50 houses in Beruwala and Pinidiyamulla GN Divisions. Houses in the Gurudola GN Divisions in the Mathugama DS Division have been affected by a landslide. Additionally, 11 houses have been damaged due to strong winds in the Western Province (in Ratmalana). The mission of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors. Locations of Concern (DMC Information) In Kalutara: Horana - Bandaragama Road , Millaniya-Kolamadiriya Road, Horawala Yatadola - Aluthgama Road, Walallawita Yagirala.

  • Sri Lanka 2015 International Religious Freedom Report
    SRI LANKA 2015 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution states every person is “entitled to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, including the freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice.” It gives citizens the right to manifest their religion or belief in worship, observance, practice, or teaching both in public and in private. The constitution and other laws give Buddhism “foremost place” and commit the government to protecting it. Civil society organizations such as the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), Center for Human Rights and Research, and others said the new government, which took office in January, pursued an agenda including a renewed commitment to the rule of law and willingness to investigate and prosecute state officials implicated in or responsible for inciting past religiously based violence. There were instances, however, in which local police and local government officials appeared to act in concert with Buddhist nationalist organizations, although not to the extent as previously. For example, police continued to cite outdated government circulars restricting the construction of religious facilities in attempts to force churches to cease operations. In multiple instances, police reportedly failed to respond or were reluctant to arrest or pursue criminal cases against individuals instigating attacks on minority religious sites. CPA noted in its “Advocacy Brief – Human Rights Violations and Surveillance in Sri Lanka,” which covered the period from January to September (hereafter CPA Brief), the government had not yet prosecuted hardline Buddhist monks involved in attacks in 2014 against Muslims and Christians. Parliament’s passage of the Assistance to and Protection of Victims of Crime and Witnesses Act in February strengthened safeguards for persons involved in legal actions against criminal perpetrators implicated in attacks upon religious sites.

  • CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area
    Urban Transport System Development Project for Colombo Metropolitan Region and Suburbs CoMTrans UrbanTransport Master Plan Final Report CHAPTER 4 Perspective of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1 Identification of the Colombo Metropolitan Area 4.1.1 Definition The Western Province is the most developed province in Sri Lanka and is where the administrative functions and economic activities are concentrated. At the same time, forestry and agricultural lands still remain, mainly in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the province. And also, there are some local urban centres which are less dependent on Colombo. These areas have less relation with the centre of Colombo. The Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined in order to analyse and assess future transport demands and formulate a master plan. For this purpose, Colombo Metropolitan Area is defined by: A) areas that are already urbanised and those to be urbanised by 2035, and B) areas that are dependent on Colombo. In an urbanised area, urban activities, which are mainly commercial and business activities, are active and it is assumed that demand for transport is high. People living in areas dependent on Colombo area assumed to travel to Colombo by some transport measures. 4.1.2 Factors to Consider for Future Urban Structures In order to identify the CMA, the following factors are considered. These factors will also define the urban structure, which is described in Section 4.3. An effective transport network will be proposed based on the urban structure as well as the traffic demand. At the same time, the new transport network proposed will affect the urban structure and lead to urban development.
