Responding to a fire distress, alarmed by a local agent of container vessel MSC ‘Daniela’, Navy dispatched two Fast Attack Craft vessels to the location assisting Sri Lankan Port Authority tugs, Rawana and Maha Wewa, Navy said.
The two tugs are expected to douse the flames while the two FACs directed for immediate evacuation of the ship’s crew in the eventuality of spread of fire.
Having reached the vessel on fire at 33 Nm off Colombo harbour, the two Tugs carried out the dousing mission while the 2 FACs continued to remain adrift at the location until the flames are completely extinguished.
Ishara Sewwandi, the main suspect wanted for the shooting inside the Aluthkade No.05 Magistrate’s Court premises which killed alleged underworld figure ’’Ganemulla Sanjeewa,’’ has been arrested in Nepal.
History often has a way of repeating itself, sometimes by shaping similar personalities that seem destined to converge
