Large crowds have formed at the ID Office today (27) even though all public services are on hold due to a sudden computer system failure. The Department for Registration of Persons announced yesterday (26) that these services would remain suspended until further notice because of the breakdown. Despite the closure, many people have been arriving at the office since early this morning, hoping to get important services. Some of these individuals have been waiting since last Tuesday to finish their requests. Additionally, several school students who lost their identity cards in the recent floods were also spotted at the office, as reported by Ada Derana. These students urgently need their ID documents to take part in a sports competition set for Monday.
