Fire or no fire the justice in Sri Lanka is decided at Temple Trees, so no worry!

It's a nice set-up. Not a natural fire. That's what I can trust. Anyone who has a brain, can understand what happened and how it happened.

The sad fact is there won't be any credible investigation and therefore no punishment to the culprit(s). That is what, this kind of acts happen very often in our mother Lanka.

Fires will affect (and deny) the justice until there's a proper information system to back up all the details and records pertaining to legal cases!
