		Cricket's place in the public's affections, and Sri Lanka's reputation in the cricketing world, were cemented in Sri Lanka's demonstrated brilliance in one-day, limited-overs matches, capped by its victory in the 1996 World Cup.

		"A commemorative one rupee cupro-nickel coin was issued by Central Bank of Sri Lanka for circulation in January 1992 on the the 3rd Anniversary of the induction of the Ranasinghe Premadasa as the second Executive President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka."

		TELWATTA, Sri Lanka (AP) — More than 800 people were killed when their train, the "Queen of the Sea," was swept off the track by this week's raging tsunami, police said, and several hundred bodies pulled from the twisted wreckage were buried Tuesday alongside the railway line.

		The destruction across Sri Lanka's coasts from Sunday's disaster was so heavy that authorities were not immediately aware of train's loss, said Sasanka Jayasekara, a lawyer and member of the local government.

		But inspections of heavily mined areas in northern Sri Lanka by agencies actually responsible for mine clearance revealed that few, if any, mines were dislodged, say experts with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the private Halo Trust.
		Landmines remain a serious problem in the country, where they were placed with wild abandon by both Sri Lankan government troops and their enemies, separatist rebels from the ethnic Tamil minority group.
