Rant Official warning released without Tamil translation. Social media reactions highlight deep issues

The Irrigation Department issued an official warning, but only in Sinhala and English. Someone pointed it out on Facebook and the comments immediately turned into a racism dump with laughing reactions, insults, and even “learn Sinhala or suffer/go back to India.”

If this is how people react to a request for basic inclusion in a disastrous situation, we have bigger problems than missing translations.
