GOSL should hang this type of people, doesn't know the value of these forests and how long will it take back to the same growth, may be another 30 to 40 years

There are some idiots who are not knowing the value of the forest and trees.

This is the first time such large scale fire damage has been done. 2500 acres is a considerable area for a small country like Sri Lanka. If found punish the culprit under the green act, damage to public property and vandalism. At least a 10 year jail sentence should be given to prevent any future copy cat acts.

More and more colorful types are surfacing. Is there an air of 'devil may care' attitude due to economic frustrations?

Maybe the perpetrator did not see the trees because of the forest.

Grave crime. Serious national issue.Offenders should be punished maximum. If existing laws are not sufficent ,enforce new laws under emergency and punish.
