President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has instructed the officers to carry out the unloading and distribution of LP gas as soon as the first ship arrives at Kerawalapitiya today (10) at 3 p.m, it said in a statement.

The third ship with 3,200 metric tonnes of gas will arrive in Sri Lanka on July (15) and the amount of gas ordered for this month is 33,000 metric tonnes.

How come Gota is giving instructions here? He has been kicked out, what has he got to do in this? Where is he giving instructions from ? From his hiding place in the army camp? People understand this, there is a conspiracy here. Keep the protests happening .
