Two sections of an international school are causing massive traffic
jams and bottlenecks against the smooth traffic flow at Kohuwela, a key
suburb of Colombo, municipal and police officials say. This led to
Dehiwela-Mount Lavinia Deputy Mayor Kesaralal Gunasekera, spending three
continuous days – Tuesday to Thursday – this week observing the flow of
traffic from 7.15 a.m. to 8.15 a.m.
“The police informed me that the kindergarten section with 900 children of this international school was causing congestion at Kohuwela,” he told the Sunday Times as he observed the traffic flow (for one hour) from the 4th floor, rooftop of a building at the Kohuwela junction.
