    Austin Fernando- High Commissioner of Sri Lanka PHD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY INTERACTIVE MEETING “STRENGTHENING OF TIES WITH SRI LANKA” PRESENTATION BY AUSTIN FERNANDO HIGH COMMISSIONER OF SRI LANKA IN INDIA May 3rd 2019 PHD CHAMBER AUDITORIUM, NEW DELHI At the outset, may I thank the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry for inviting me to make a presentation on “Strengthening Ties with Sri Lanka.” Your organization being a business oriented Think Tank you would have expected the delivery of a technical presentation from me. In fact, when Ambassador Krishna Rajan met me and discussed the preliminaries, I requested my Commercial Officer Ms. Upekkha Samaratunga to brief me to provide data to satisfy Ambassador Rajan‟s intentions. However, the episode on April 21st 2019 in Sri Lanka made me to rethink. I thought that I should focus on a sector of extreme importance to me, to Sri Lankan and Indian businesses and economic interlocutors like your members. That is „Tourism‟. Nonetheless, I will briefly touch upon other areas or sectors. Strengthening ties with Sri Lanka can be viewed at and perceived in several areas. Our ties are historically old. The components of our ties have integrated into our daily lives, through culture, religions, security, and economic concerns of both countries. The foreign relations of both countries have in very recent times reached upgraded proximity, after a limited engagement for a few years just before. Ambassador Yash Sinha is my witness to endorse this statement. Even during that era there had been ad hoc institutional mechanisms that proved to be pacifying.

  • Distribution of Lightning Accidents in Sri Lanka from 1974 to 2019 Using the Desinventar Database
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Distribution of Lightning Accidents in Sri Lanka from 1974 to 2019 Using the DesInventar Database Mahesh Edirisinghe * and Uruvitiya Gamage Dilaj Maduranga Department of Physics, University of Colombo, Colombo 00300, Sri Lanka; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The reported lightning accidents that are available in the DesInventar database—which consist of 549 deaths, 498 injured people, 39 destroyed houses, and 741 damaged houses—were analyzed in terms of their geographical and temporal variation. The average lightning flash densities were calculated using zonal statistics using the geographic information system (GIS), referring to the respective raster maps generated based on Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) data from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) Satellite. Hence, the variations of the lightning accidents— monthly and climate season-wise—in response to the lightning flash density were also reported. The calculated average lightning flash density in Sri Lanka is 8.26 flashes km−2 year−1, and the maximum average lightning flash density of 31.33 flashes km−2 year−1 is observed in April in a calendar year. April seems to be more vulnerable to lightning accidents, as the maximum number of deaths (150 deaths) and injuries (147 injuries) were recorded in this month. Most of the high-risk lightning accident regions that were identified in Sri Lanka are well known for agricultural activities, and those activities will eventually create the platform for lightning victims. In Sri Lanka, in a year, 12 people were killed and 11 people were injured, based on the reported accidents from 1974 to Citation: Edirisinghe, M.; 2019.
