The National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) said yesterday they had identified two children who had lost both parents in the Meethotamulla catastrophe while two other children had lost one of their parents.

NCPA Deputy Chairman Sajeeva Samaranayake said they had submitted a report to the Department of Probation and Child Care Services on the plight faced by the four children.

The Probation and Child Care Services Officer of the Kolonnawa Divisional Secretariat said the two children who were orphaned were in the custody of their relatives and were being closely monitored by officials of the NCPA and the Department of Probation and Child Care Services.

Government should open a fund and ensure their wellbeing and education till they are big enough to look after themselves. Hope this will be done.

sri Lankan politicians are politicians ONLY to make money and lots of it. Only MONEY opens their eyes and NOTHING else.

Their eyes are open but clouded by power to enrich themselves.

We need a person as the PM like Wijeyaweera who loved this country more then anything.

My prayers are with these kids...pls do NOT separate them n give for adoption...start a fund where ppl can donate and care for the well being of them n to educate them...let the Govt put a lump sum for the betterment of these kids n not hand over the money to next of kin.... via DM Android App

Politicians will never open their eyes. After theygot elected to the Politics they will have time only to look into their welfare and their generations.
