Recommended Posts

Posted

Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa declared a nationwide public emergency late on Friday following violent protests over the country's worst economic crisis in decades.

In a Sri Lankan government gazette notification, Rajapaksa said the decision was taken in the interests of public security, the protection of public order, and to ensure the maintenance of supplies and essential services.

On Thursday hundreds of protesters clashed with police and military outside President Rajapaksa's residence in a suburb of the capital, Colombo.

Only solution is IMF deal just like india did in 1991 

Massive layoffs of govt employees , privatisation , deferred payments on foreign loans

Other countries, institutions and coalitions will bail out Sri Lanka…atarvata they will impose strict austerity measures and conditions..foreign companies will pick up stake in such entities..

Oka few years welfare spending agipoi strict austerity measures vastayi…karchu pette kante mundu ‘avasarama’ ane question vastadi…

Other than that, it’s quite normal..

Horrible situation

Horrible emundi? They are ranked better than India in Global happiness index, Global Hunger Index, Global Freedom Index and Global Democracy Index. The great Nobel prize winner Amartya sen is behind one of these ratings. India ne economic collapse ki daggaraga undi. You can check RaGa's tweets for reference.
