Plundering Priorities and Continuing Live Burial

In 2005 Ministry of Disaster Management identified and earmarked landslide areas in the whole hill country and wanted to go ahead with a plan of relocating the people of those disaster prone areas to saver lands. This was done as an emergency action plan as a consequence of loss of property and live burial amounting to 20, and colossal some of money was allocated to go ahead with an action plan. Under the regime of MR nothing happened further and the Minister in charge was one of those four “Mahinda”s in the government who openly declared of need of money plundering for the elections born by the present electoral process, on the election platforms itself. MR let him to do whatever the minster wanted to do and the Minster who succeeded him another Mahinda arrogantly boasted “Present Minsters have plundered enough and electing a new government will plunder more, therefore not to elect a new government” – this claim was just after the  Mirriyabadde catastrophe which buried 38 lively, on October 29 which was just a only beginning of series of live burial amounting to 25, up to now, including the 17 in Badulla, day before yesterday, apart from lifelong savings of property amounting to many hundred thousand. Why MR in another Mahinda did not give priority to life and property saving action plan of Ministry of Disaster Management though 8yeras has passed since 2005? A head of a government cannot give excuse for any development on priority basis that compromises the Life and Property saving, cabinet approved action plan; Urban beautification and Express Highways really needed but Action Plans that could prevent the  worst cruelty that mankind can experience – Life Burial under the heavily ambushing soaked sand should have been given priority, here it has not been considered even to be get along with more of exhibitory mega expenditure projects.  Hon. Minister for Disaster Management Mahinda Amaraweera’s latest claim is that “however we plan, the natural disaster overcome those plan” and this claim proves the present hierarchy that runs the  government does not any have intensions of investing money natural disaster lose live leave alone life burial The fools in the paradise shall realise that natural disasters cannot be prevented, but the loss life and property can be stopped

And all National plans have to go simultaneously!
