It is very frequenlty reported that something kills somebody, on the mortaway. This time it a falling tree. We need to grow away, from all such Natural and human hazards, which we are subjected to very frequently.

It is high time that colombo municipal, probably together with universities take a stock of all old trees by the road side and remove the risky. At the same time make a replanting campaign.
