If this is done by some nasty idiots, they should be searched and punished. Certainly Sri Lankans are not lacking of these kinds people (rather barbarians).

Where was the Fire alarm system which is a must for a factory?

How do you know this? Or are you like many people here who just spout off at the mouth because that's the first thing that comes to mind?
