Curfew tomorrow to facilitate military personnel returning to camps

Jaffna Logic Sunday, 26 April 2020 09:16 PM

Imposing a nation wide curfew for the sole purpose of facilitating military officers to return to work does not make any sense at all. Unless there are many many military officers who are reluctant to report for duty due to the fear of catching the covid-19. It is fashionable to be formal and look things via unforgiving cold logic but we are not Europeans but South Asian. We have to also rely on our emotional intelligence and seek some balance, military officers are also humans with their own anxious families to worry about.

Hope it has no relationship with the 1000 death bags being requested

Corona has become a joke, Ten people dead and is it still serious. If this virus is pandemic, today many would have dies. This drama is well planned

There is absolutely no read on or logic behind this. Why declare an Islandwide curfew for this ? The authorities must be transparent in their decisions.

Dear Mr. President, We believe you will see this message. Please be kind enough to relax curfews at reasonable intervals all island as we are heading for a very serious food shortage. We are falling ill of gastritis and other complications due to shortages of essential medicines. We will have a higher death rate of other ailments very soon onwards for which who is going to take the responsibility? Your dictator style of rule is not appropriate to the modern democratic way of life and you need to think twice as people might take to the streets protesting very soon and you are definitely going to shoot us like you did in the Karunanayake FTZ and Rathu Passwala water incident. Your way of rule is going to come with heavy and disastrous consequences very soon.

Why would the lifting of the curfew hinder the return of these service men and women? If the motive is to spread less by the infected members how did they become infected in the first place? Were they at duty at quarantine centres? Depriving the whole nation to get back to life to let trained forces follow orders to get back to barracks doesn't make sense. And also why are they armed with automatic weapons?
