Curfew imposed till Monday morning amid heavy economic crisis in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is going through a bad phase of economic crisis. In such a situation, the government of Sri Lanka is facing huge displeasure of the people. The government has imposed a state of emergency on Saturday. Hundreds of lawyers against this urged President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to revoke the state of emergency, to ensure that freedom of speech and peaceful assembly are respected during the country's economic crisis.

A consignment of 40,000 metric tonnes of diesel from India reached Sri Lanka on Saturday. The fourth tranche of such aid arrived from New Delhi to ease power cuts in the island nation of Sri Lanka. The Indian High Commission in Colombo informed that the fuel was supplied by India to Sri Lanka.

Electricity plants have been shut down in Sri Lanka, due to which power supply has come to a standstill in 220 million homes. There is power cut for 12-12 hours every day. Several important factories have closed yesterday. Prolonged power cuts in Sri Lanka have affected the country's communication network. Sri Lanka has also been unable to pay for imports due to heavy debt and dwindling foreign reserves. This is the reason that due to this there has been a shortage of many goods in the country.
