People’s questions with regard to the actual cause behind gas leak explosions would be answered and appeased when the results of an undisclosed investigation would be made public soon, Chief Government Whip and Highways Minister Johnston Fernando said yesterday.
Speaking at a ceremony held at Kurunegala Maliyadeva Girls’ School to declare open a three-storeyed building for the students, the Minister said that the investigation had been prompted by the serious doubts whether there were hands of saboteurs behind the incidents of explosions. “There is a very serious suspicion of these so-called gas leak explosions. There were incidents from many places. However, there were no such incidents reported from the houses in Colombo 7, Northern Province, Kandy or Kurunegala. After many ministers had raised these doubts and concerns, the President commenced an investigation that was not disclosed to the public. Its results will be made public soon and thereafter we will know the truth,” the Minister said.
