Schools would switch to an online learning method
Govt. employees would begin a work-from-home policy for two weeks
Private sector requested to grant its employees a work-from-home policy

Government officials today said that no curfew or lockdown had been planned for the coming days, but schools would switch to an online learning method and government employees would begin a work-from-home policy for two weeks.

A message circulating widely on social media said that "Public administration and defence discussed a lockdown and no date had been given yet. Get all your essentials, not sure. They know there's going to be mayhem within the next three weeks. Very serious situation. Inform your loved ones to be prepared," the circulated message read.

However, government officials said that the social media message being circulated was untrue, as no lockdown had been planned.

The Private sector had also been requested to grant its employees a work-from-home policy till the fuel crisis normalises in the coming weeks. (Jamila Husain)

Most useless government in the history

When government says no lockdown or curfew, we all knows what will happen. Can’t trust any information from the government.

Obviously someone wants troubles to add to the troubles initiated by the Rajapaksas.

Mizaru Sunday, 19 June 2022 04:41 PM

There is no need for a official lockdown. The roads are deserted today, even the supper markets.

joshua Sunday, 19 June 2022 04:46 PM

Even if you lockdown the people will not adhere to it. Try and see.

What more lockdown required when there is no fuel no govt service no schools no and medicine in govt hospitals. It amounts to lockdown. Will see how long Gota , Ranil and this govt hoodwink the masses. There will be a disastrous end to your atrocities.

In other words 2 weeks paid holiday for lazy government employees funded by the private sector working employees.

If public anger reaches boiling point what is the alternative. We have come to a stage where no one believes what the government says

ONLY solution now is for Gotabaya and Ranil to step down before the are CHASED out by the nation.

Chinta Monday, 20 June 2022 02:41 AM

Punchi Monday, 20 June 2022 06:05 AM

Don’t blame our politicians they are the product and manifestation of our mindset which was happy to spend our country’s resources to keep segments of our population subjugated at the expense of developing our country. Now that this has failed we only blame them

Willow Drive Monday, 20 June 2022 06:30 AM
