    To save more lives ; we need to advise people not to build house on hillside that is about slide ..it is a common sense that if you build a house in any hillside it can come down if it is in a shaky place or not in a solide place ...how many houses like this can be buried like this ? Who care about this..go and see around Kandy..to see houses how houses are built badly in hillsides ...one by one these houses could slide if those houses are not build in solide ground with solide concrete..May God protect all these people

    Every bit of bare land doesn't mean that you can go build a house. May they rest in peace.

    They are from a poor family. There are lots of vulnerable families lives there. Need to give national attention so as to prevent further disasters. May they attend supreme Nibbana !

    If the land is not suitable to build a house, Government must provide them with safe locations to construct a house. Shame on you Government .
