    I dont understand why most ppl are so ignornt, they can easily forget safety of their own life just for few mins of fun. Never learn..

    Well they have nowhere to learn about their life and safety! Look out when ppl driving , most do not have driving Technics

    They are drunk when behind a wheel and they are drunk when they go for a swim. This is the tragedy of our foolish Sri lankans. They will never know their limits.

    Six people ?! unimaginable. One, them being so ignorant and irresponsible, then weren't there any other people in the same gang or some villages who could save at least a few ?

    A tragic incident. There have been several during the last few months. It would be prudent to consider some basic life saving/rescuing equipment like a a couple of rubber buoys
    to be displayed at bathing places where the water is deep or currents are strong. Also a warning notice to draw peoples attention.
