Hope it is an accidental explosion. If that was planted by a displeased person, we can expect more in the future

Recent increase in Butane in LP gas cylinders causing this. Very dangerous precedence. Lives can be loss also. Authorities should look into it

Typical SLPP tactic. They are masters in the art of creating this type of situation to not only divert the attention away from the problems the people face today, but also to show a situation of sabotage against the government. I don't think we the people are gullible anymore; we are wiser now.

MR trophy football final was played hours ago. A gas leak explosion at nearby Mc Donalds. Any connection or mere coincidence? But it is sad to see when people suffer without gas, there are gas leaks else where.
