The Kollam fire mishap has left Malayalis in shock. Actor
Murali Gopy recently took to his social networking page to express his condolences to the victims of Kollam Puttingal Temple accident. The actor posted, 'India does not need a Pakistan or a China to decimate its people, as long as it has such unscientifically, unsafely and irresponsibly conducted celebrations as this one! Terrible is a very inadequate word when it comes to describing the casualties of the Paravur temple fireworks explosion.
The eyewitness accounts and the decibel range of the blast tell us that it was not smaller than the detonation of a WW 2 bomb! Really, really sad it is. All one can do... is pray, pray and pray (sic)."
