Finally the caption is correct. 19 in 2 days make one feel very uncomfortable. Correct and speedy action need to be taken. For a start all cylinders or gas tanks with suspected composition need to be recalled and replaced.

There was no need to change the percentage in formula and now our Gommaan pillai is talking about gas exploration.

Gas Cylinders in SL are substandard. @Government, Please sell safe products to Sri Lankans. I can't find similar reports elsewhere in the world.
