The information is misleading. The train was from Colombo to Badulla.

IT IS TRAGIC THAT THERE ARE FAMILIES STILL UNABLE TO RESOLVE FAMILY ISSUES TAKING TO SUICIDE

Not a day pass by without a tragic incident. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, poverty and greed are the root cause of the problem. Whole country has gone to the dogs.

Suicide is foolish. God bless the baby.
