President Maithripala Sirisena today requested private business establishments to switch off the lights used for promotion and beautification purposes in a bid to save electricity.
He said it was everyone’s responsibility to conserve electricity ahead of a likely energy crisis resulting from the prolonged drought.
The President said a considerable amount of electricity were wasted to light up bill boards and other decorative units at night and requested them to switch them off till the drought ended.

President is absolutely right, we as a society should live in unison with nature. Sports events with floodlights etc should also be abandoned in favour of hosting these during daylight.

Yes yes Mr President - lets go right back to the kuppi lampuwa days. Well done!!!

No one can blame our President. He is not the cause for the drought, its the nature and it is in the hands of God.
