Couples have now been banned from sitting together at the Negombo bus stand by security officers.
There is a popular video shared among social medias that shows female security officers at the bus stand telling couples they cannot spend more than five minutes seated at the bus terminal. On the condition of anonymity that the security officers had told the couples the bus stand is not the place for couples to spend time together.
Couples seated together at the bus stand were told they must get onto any bus in five minutes no matter what bus is available.”
“They were rather rude to my girlfriend and me. So I asked the female security officer not to forget a recent incident in Colombo where couples protested against not being allowed to sit together. But the female security officer simply dismissed what I said,” he said.
What about your thoughts of this incident?
Is that the couples so wrong here or the security officer? What should have to be done? When it is prohibiting public places for couples; where is their space then? Then actually what does actually we called “public” for all?.......................

Actually I was wondering still, why cannot couples allowed to stay at the Negombo Bus Stand? I thought that bus stand is for "public" though..
There's no any public place for lovers in Sri Lanka. If you want to love, Please find a private place. 😂
"they must get onto any bus in five minutes no matter what bus is available." are you serious?? 😂 😂
Negombo is same like a town in Afghanistan? I couldn’t believe that,
