    Where? I did not see or hear them in Negombo

    All essential itms should be distributed in Lorries, forces vehicles all over during the curfew period. This helps social distencing.

    Positive and Optimistic side of the lock-down particularly in poor areas unable to make online purchase.

    All have Police protection, like the Mafia!!! The disadvantages of purchasing from some unauthorized, unscruplous, unknown vendors, are Underweight, Poorest of the Poor quality and high prices. There is no recourse for anything. Then what is the purpose of the curfew, where NO social distance is maintained, and forcefully closing all the Thambi Kaddes run by Tamils in Wellawatte, or Muslims else where, (Mostly) and the Police enforce it by way of draconian style they learnt and heard in the Vanni. It is also very good income for many and good cash flow by the hour. Disgraceful, but the various ignorant and uneducated committees are swollen headed that they are the experts on Food, and Fruit distribution. Some, Fish lorries does the same thing. So what happens to the daily wage earners, and the poor and elderly shoppers, since this is an alt to Cargills, Keels, Arpico, n Laugh Gas wait 2 hours in the sun . foll on Twitter Lankadonald

    Definitly better than Cargills and may be Keells too under the current situation.
