What is getting better in this country after NPP came into power? Well, only thing getting better is telling countless big big lies by NPP leaders.

Yes. Pretty much everything. And you know it as well. These types of shortages are nothing new. Happened before as well. And it will need time to fix. And others definitely not going to do it. Otherwise they would have done it already.

Eaten pachawatte salt? Biggest corruptors are advising Pacha Kumara example Usup and Hulangona. Nandalal was the deputy of Arjuna Mahendran during the bond scam.

@Krish, "pretty much everything ", yes of course, shootings up, crimes up, fatal road accidents up, lying politicians up, consumer essential prices up, stock market up, house and land prices up but no buyers, fatal university raggings up, vehicle prices up , drugs up, etc, So is that not good? But some usual protests and strikes are down. Protests have very few people now , LTTE activities revived world wide, so , we are all happy listening to sweet talks.

If there is a shortage in the supply of Salt, I think its a blessing in disguise. Less salt consumption is good for health. Why complain!!!
