    This is a highly residential area, how can the local authorities issue licence to commence a venture like this risking the life of many innocent people. this factory should be shut down permanently.

    Piliyandala is residential area now, not before 15 years back. We have to check the date when this factory was opened. Even Ratmalana was Industrial area before.

    I used to live in Nawala and there was a quite larger chemical storage facility in middle of a heavily residential area. When the gates open you could actually see row upon row of Chemical barrels marked "Highly Toxic" with the "Skull & Bones" symbol.
