Hambantota Port
The filling of the basin of the controversial Hambantota Harbour with seawater began on 12 July with a simple ceremony attended by Ports and Shipping Minister Arjuna Ranathunga.
The previous ceremony, led by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, was a costly affair with much fanfare, but it failed to yield any positive results and has been subjected to much criticism.
