The natural habitat of this majestic beast is gradually been taken over by man and eventually the elephant population in the country will be totally wiped out. One day I was watching a world cup cricket match on TV being played at Hambantota and saw some elephants wondering around bewildered what was going on.

Where is the compliance with the HV Electrical Installation Standards, including the minimum cvlearance to 'earrthed objects' corresponding to the voltage being caried ?? - the electrical design engineer who signed this off should be struck off the register - S de Silva - London

Sri lankans will never learn. They will only learn when they are in HELL and then it will be to late.

No consideration for wild life during planning stage. Poor engineering. Take them to task.

It look like the HT post tilted by knocking the elephants and power lines were lowered.

Can we sue in the court of law, the Person In charge for these power lines? It is horrible. Not following any recommended standards for HV lines.
Most Wanted Friday, 30 November 2012 09:39 AM
so sad, just watch the tears on their's eyes, elephants also do cry like humans..... my condolences.
Chryshan K Friday, 30 November 2012 09:37 AM
CEB officials responsible should be charged for act of negligence. Only after this incident it will be corrected. If somebody complains before, they will have so many excuses. They have no value of life whether its an animal or human.
