    What is Rs. 2.5 million for a general manager working in a garment factory. The minimum is US$ 1,000,000. No less.

    Kikazaru you need to work as a pimp or in the market - it will work out well...not even a week has passed since the murder, and you have already set a price for him and are trying to sell.

    Some sports guy was given SLr50 mio. How does this paltry sum compares with it. This is a life taken away unjustly.

    How much was offered to the parents of the little girl whose head was chopped off? Yes, the brave and parents with dignity refused it.

    The factory owners has also to bear responsibility, clearly the factory did not have adequate security measures.

    Are we borrowing from Pakistan to pay this grant

    Logical Tuesday, 07 December 2021 12:24 PM

    This is just a insult. Rs.2.5 million is peanuts. Don't set an example to Pakistan and his employer

    Kuhanesan Tuesday, 07 December 2021 12:34 PM

    Money is not every think in life........Family is every think.......

    I feel very sad for this family, they lost their father and mother lost her husband. Instead of 2.5 million they should have been given double that amount. Deceased husband may have sent millions of foreign exchange during the 11 years of his work in Pakistan.

    Ha ha joke joke Christmas joke 2.5 million. One. 225 x 50,000 = ????

    BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 07 December 2021 01:31 PM

    Ajith Randeniya Tuesday, 07 December 2021 02:59 PM

    any compensation from the government or Litro for the GAS issue.

    Kps Tuesday, 07 December 2021 07:36 PM

    This is just a fraction of a illegal pension recommended to CB governor.
