    Gota, Ali Baba, The Seven Brian Man and KabalRala has to take full responsibility for this murder. Please if you can not run this nation, please go. Enough is enough.

    Very sad. But for the ruling party it doesn't matter. It's the poor people are effected most.

    OUR CABINET WILL ONLY NOD. THEY CANNOT SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS. WE SHOULD NEITHER DEPEND ON THE CABINET NOR THE GOVT OF MINISTERS

    Very sad news and our deepest sympathise to his family and friends.

    Disgusted Saturday, 19 March 2022 07:31 PM

    This is the beginning of another tragedy and some more people are going to die because of an irresponsible govt. Atleast now bow down and get vanished without torturing us for your family to enjoy power. Enough is enough

    This reminds the suffering of the masses. Pump petrol/diesel for Rs.2000/= per vehicle. If this is done all will get fuel, the rush in petrol stations will fissile out.

    Karalasingam Sivalingam Saturday, 19 March 2022 08:42 PM

    Some bring 10 to 20 litre cans to fill fuel and kerisone. Limit issuance sparingly. Issue keresone 5 litres' fuel for Rs. 2000/= per vehicle.

    This is Not a good sign. Yesterday, a young man was scene crying. Can the Venerable Maha Sangha make a statement?

    mgomis Sunday, 20 March 2022 02:17 AM

    @WAFAH Venerable? You mean VENAL as in easily bribe-able? Maha HORRA's cry only for V8 prado's.

    Sad indeed .to die in a line whilst trying to get a much needed product for his family may be .My hero for the day May he rest in peace ..People are called upon to make such sacrifices not worrying about their health ..but why?

    Observer Sunday, 20 March 2022 03:09 AM

    When Modiaya's vote in mass for a corrupt family run government with the backing of Buddhist clergy this is what happens to country. Just look at how Namal Rajakapakse is enjoying with his concubines in Maldives while, the common man waits all day in the queue to get his basic daily requirements.

    Sambo Sunday, 20 March 2022 08:58 AM

    This government that came in to power over 280 dead bodies, will they care for one dead.

    Samanera Sunday, 20 March 2022 11:01 AM

    The ruling clan does not seem to care for the tragedies and disasters happening.They are deaf and blind and carry on regardless.

    Nuwan Sunday, 20 March 2022 11:20 AM

    It's just a heart attack. Nothing to do with president. Stop these nonsense talk please.

    Ranaweera Monday, 21 March 2022 01:46 AM

    It is the man's children who are responsible as they should have taken care of him at the age of 71. At this age the man has to wait in the queue. May be the sons were drinking alcohol. All other hate mongers are blaming the President.
