    How could a county progress when nothing is consistent.

    Lokido Friday, 11 June 2021 05:58 PM

    That is the reason why people always panic buying and crowding when there is an announcement or rumor about restrictions. Since plans changing on day by day basis

    Sounds like you are not residing in sl or fully stocked up with food.

    Rumors are correct,

    Everybody has to understand that the decision on travel restrictions heavily relies on the statistics released every fraction of the second. We can't blame anyone for the sake of the motherland.

    How can I attend to a shortcircuit in the house wiring with all electrical sales outlet closed.Roof repairs without hardware sales outlets closed

    vince Friday, 11 June 2021 08:49 PM

    A short circuit will blow a fuse. Just change the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. No need to go to the electrical shop.

    We knew it long time ago that When you open your mouth its a lie.. Just like ajith rohana

    AB Friday, 11 June 2021 07:26 PM

    Let super markets open and let people buy provisions without police interference, may have reason but don't be too harsh not letting come by own vehicle, its bit silly

    Jagath Silva Friday, 11 June 2021 07:38 PM

    The only thing consistent is inconsistence

    Bernard Friday, 11 June 2021 08:48 PM

    It is like a half-baked country without an aim with inconsistent policies due to involvement of ignorant people pulling the rope in all directions with no light visible at the end of the tunnel.

    Samson Friday, 11 June 2021 08:57 PM

    How can people attend the sathi pola with these travel restrictions??

    what is the difference ? Saturday, 12 June 2021 02:03 PM

    Oxford dictonery to add a new item "travel restriction" which means in Sri Lanka as "lock down"
