"If the government had been efficient enough to inform the people through loudspeakers,"

"If the government had been efficient enough to inform the people through loudspeakers or stopped the train in time, my wife would still be alive," Mr Perera, a radio presenter, told Reuters news agency. Mr Perera has filed his case with the supreme court, accusing authorities of failing to issue an early warning, not responding after the initial tsunami wave and, later, for failing to send rescuers immediately. His lawyer, Mr Tambiah, said Mr Perera phoned the police and other government bodies after the first wave hit but received no assistance. - Sri Lanka survivor to sue state , Reports BBC
