There was a fight at the first Miss Sri Lanka New York beauty contest.

Several people were involved in a fight at the after party for the beauty contest.

Staten Island is home to a large Sri Lankan diaspora. The nation's national cancer hospital is in need of funds due to the country's dire economic situation.

SriLanka is not in a good place at the moment. We wanted to help the community and the girls here. Sujani Fernando said that they wanted to bring out their talent and send it back to their home country.

A human rights activist was found dead while living in exile.

The winner of the event was Angelia Gunasekara.

The videos of the brawl have been viewed millions of times. Men and women engage in a physical altercation in the video.

Asian countries voted in favor of the UN resolution.

The brawl resulted in damage to property and multiple arrests.

Sri Lankan netizens expressed disappointment at those involved and said that they have damaged the nation's image in the US.

One user said it was disgrace and embarrassing. According to the law, all of them should be arrested.

The report says that anti- Asian incidents are higher in Canada than in the US.

The behavior of village Sri Lankans is typical. The events end up in a fight. All the way to women. They struck at each other with chairs and umbrellas. It is interesting to watch.
