Dr. Wajira Rajapaksha, the Regional Epidemiologist in Badulla, and his wife have expressed interest to adopt the three children who lost their parents in the bus accident in Passara.

Dr. Rajapaksha, in a Facebook post, said he had informed the GA in Ampara that he was willing to adopt the three children given that the current guardians of the children have objection on the matter.

The doctor's gesture has earned praise on social media and many have commended his act of kindness.
