I cannot imagine this ever ..in the heart of the city too. .when in other parts of the world laundries are big business and the conditions of work I am sure is in accordance to the health and safety regulations ..Hopefully this picture story will draw the attention of the Colombo city authorities to make amends for a better and safe environment for these workers ..

Someone will soon plan on relocating this and sell this prime land that's behind temple trees.
