Another holiday added to many other holidays. Sri Lanka is known for the highest number of ministers in a government, and now, the highest number of holidays. What a paradise!

Let us be realistic. Large numbers of public servants deployed on election duty, in locations far away from their normal stations, will be travelling back home only on Thursday. Quite a number of them would still be in transit, during the course of Friday. Thus, in the circumstances, it is only a fraction of the workforce who might be in a position to report to work on Friday. Looked at from this perspective, doesn't the decision to declare Friday, a public holiday, make sense?

Good luck for the patriotic Lankans, for such a lot of holidays.
More holidays than the working days, how companies afford to pay wages. These are all politician's blunders.
