Public viewing of Hambantota Port ends today

 
Public viewing of the Hambantota Port before the water filling ceremony, ends today. Hundreds and thousands of visitors flocked to the location during the past few months to have a glimpse of the Port before its Basin is filled with water.

Several programmes were in place for the public to conveniently visit the place. The Ambalantota Depot operated a special bus service for the crowds, including school children. Private vehicles were permitted only to reach the Construction Office. Thereafter, they were taken to the Harbour site by special buses.

Hambantota Port is the first of its kind as the Port is being built inland and the water filling will be done on 15th August through the breakwater.
