Nobody can escape death when the times come because there are stories of the victims which clearly demonstrate as to how people irrespective of age and sex lost their lives while their kith and kins narrowly escaped.

Match over. Dead 31 are buried. Ranil comes. He is protected not only by the maskNext stop Geneva?Thank God for the Army.

The PM knows the situation smells very bad for his very sensitive nose. Wait and see, Meethotumulla may be spared, but some other place and people will have to be put up with the offensive smell.

Henry Wednesday, 19 April 2017 05:25 PM

Voters are smelly now?

Dammika Wednesday, 19 April 2017 04:43 PM

Why can't he. Anyone can .... even the Army officer wearing but he has put down to talk. Don't bring in childish arguments in such situations

Rohan Wednesday, 19 April 2017 03:41 PM

Whole story said in the picture by wearing a face mask by the PM.

DillonDP Wednesday, 19 April 2017 03:17 PM

After all the Lankan is only worried about PM's Mask, i am sure things will turn to better now. hope a permanent and a feasible solution is found.

Ajja Wednesday, 19 April 2017 03:13 PM

Ranil being the PM of Srilanka feel the severe smell. You can now imagine how the innocent people of Kollonnawa lived with this stench for so many years with all those sicknesses.

Lankan Wednesday, 19 April 2017 02:02 PM

Why only the PM is wearing the mask?

Indrajith Wednesday, 19 April 2017 02:57 PM

Just minute after landing in the country Prime minister has guts to come and meet these people where as .leaders who were in the country when the disaster happened aren't aware of it.

Independent Wednesday, 19 April 2017 02:57 PM

It's commonly practiced by many individuals even in Singapore. If you are sick you wear a mask so that you will spread or attract viruses. In this case because of the bad smell. It's the choice of the person we don't want to get sick.

Daham Wednesday, 19 April 2017 02:54 PM

Hats off to the Prime Minister. At least he has visited the disaster scene unlike the other leader.

Dee Wednesday, 19 April 2017 02:51 PM

ANTON Wednesday, 19 April 2017 02:30 PM
