The state of emergency that was clamped on March 7 following communal riots that flared up in the Kandy District will lapse on March 20, unless it is extended by Parliament, an official said yesterday.
Deputy Secretary General of Parliament Neil Iddawala told the Daily Mirror that the state of emergency that had been declared by President Maithripala Sirisena by proclamation should be approved by Parliament within 14 days completing on March 20.
Otherwise, he said it would lapse automatically. He also said the President had the authority to revoke it before that. (Kelum Bandara)

I thought it was only for 10 days. Now it will be 13 days, if not longer. Also i did read that the President said from japan that the state of emergency was no longer needed after thursda 15 march 2018. So i really start to wonder who is really in control of this nation.
