Sign of times of modern Sri Lanka!
With a spate of bombs exploding countrywide large hoardings have come up in the city warning people to beware. Previously such warnings were confined to public notices, posters, or via electronic media. However, given the unprecedented nature and frequency of bomb explosions, the authorities have felt it wise to have the warning on large billboards. The Bottom Line photographer Nissanka Wijeratne captured this billboard just outside the General Cemetery in Borella close to a police checkpoint. The location and placement perhaps is a grim reminder to people where they would end up if they are not observant.
