COLOMBO (News 1st) – The footage of a father saving his family from the monstrous flames that occurred on the 8th of this month in Kandy, shook the entire nation as it showed the depth of the father’s love. On another hand, it attests to the power of humanity that set aside all borders of race, religion, and caste.

Ramraj; the hero of the story and his family were all welcomed by the team of News 1st today (January 12).

Sharing his heroic story with us, S. Ramraj said that before he had thrown the eldest child he had thought if the people below would catch him. He continued to say that after he had thrown his first child a person from below had signalled him to do the same again.

Ramraj added that he does not know if this particular individual is a Sinhalese, Muslim or Tamil national but added that he regained strength to save his children and family because of the strength that this man had given him. He added that the people who caught his family from down below should be worshipped because it was them who had given him the strength to keep going.

The News 1st team together with the Capital Maharaja Organization did not forget to support the future of Ramraj’s three children.
