Death toll is 650 to reduce the intense heat an artificial rain to Pakistan

Owing to the extremely intense heat in the suburbs of the Karachchi city in Pakistan the death toll has

risen to 650 during four days.

In addition people have been deprived of water for the daily use of the people as water had evaporated. This had caused tremendous hardships for living.

This was a period that people were preparing for their festival. Owing to the intense heat preparations for the festival too had been curtailed. Hence the government has declared as a national holiday today for the people in these areas.

The government has hence decided as a temporary solution the possibility of producing an artificial rainfall.

In this endeavour it has been arranged to mix sodium chloride and water and to drop them into the clouds to have artificial rains on the 26th and the 27th instants. The temperature in these areas had risen above 45 degrees centigrade it is reported.

It has been reported to us that that there is a strong

possibility that the present parliament would be dissolved tonight, according to information received from political sources.

Certain matters pointing to this was received during parliamentary proceedings today. A statement expressed by the Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa in this respect could be deemed vital. Anticipating a response from the Prime Minister, a question was put forward about withholding the rights and privileges due to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa under Standing Orders 23-2 according to the Constitution of the Government by leader of Mahajana Eksath Peramuna, Dinesh Gunawardena when Lakshman Kiriella stated that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasingha would be answering that question in the future. During the course of his opinions being expressed, MP Dinesh Gunawardena began to cause disturbance to him and and query whether the Prime Minister would be giving his reply tomorrow (25). At this point MPs and Ministers of the Government Party began making a commotion saying "where's parliament tomorrow?"

"Let's hand over answering the relevant question to the Prime Minister. If parliament is held tomorrow .... a reply will be received tomorrow". From this response from the Speaker his hint about parliament would have been dissolved by tomorrow was indicated. At that point MP Dinesh had provided his reply saying, "that of course is a secret known only to you".
