Burnt buses, submerged cars become selfie points in Sri Lanka. Pics inside

Amid the ongoing political crisis and anti-government protests in Sri Lanka, the country has found for itself new selfie points near burnt buses and cars submerged in ponds outside the Prime Minister's residence in Colombo.

People were seen walking on the streets outside the office of the Prime Minister near Temple Tree, taking selfies in front of buses that were set to flames by the protesters and cars submerged in the ponds .

Until a few days ago, the Temple Tree office was occupied by the now-former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa.

"I am not going to school for four days due to the ongoing protest in Colombo and today we are here with my family, I have taken many selfies here to show my friends," one of the visitors, Asma Ismat, told news agency ANI.

"People are taking a selfie here because they want to take it as a memory, many people could not join the protest due to some reason... taking a selfie is showing solidarity with the protesters," Clifford, a private corporate company employee, who stopped his motorbike in the area to take selfies told ANI.
