Full scale investigation should be done and take strict action to prevent recurrance in any where else in the island. Probably this could be due to lack of regular maintenence.

Safety legislation and standards in Sri Lanka is below minimum because all policies are made on the run. Another forgotten incident tomorrow.

Which is why politicians filled with hot air must never go near open flames.
