"This flyover can be used for protests and demonstrations ,in the case of emergency"
That would be quite useful for journalists - who have been deprived of freedom in Sri Lanka, Tamils - who have been deprived of freedom and rights.
It also could become quite handy spot for the Government of Sri Lanka to assassinate journalists.
an excellent investment.
