(December 09, Kandy, Sri Lanka Guardian) On 24 November another victim was claimed by a collapsing mine in the greater Teldeniya area. This time it was one Maneluwa Putuhapuwe Gedara Monasinghe (56 years) of Maneluwa, Putuhapuwe of greater Teldeniya area. After fighting several days for his life, Monasinghe took his last breath on the 5th of December. Good thing he died when he did, for if he survived, he would be utterly handicapped and be a burden to the family and the society at large.
Indeed environmental ministry agents who issued these ‘LICENCES TO KILL’ and which are being used to murder the innocent Kandyan peasants are not the least concerned. In fact the issuer of this specific license, the ‘corrupt environmental agent’, and the operators of the rock quarry, has escaped scot free again, thanks to their owning such a ‘LICENCE TO KILL’.
It is not difficult to predict when the next murders are going to take place! It is at the adjoining mine where the earlier murder took place which was documented by me.If these murders continues at this rate, there bound to be another Kandyen uprising.
