Sri Lanka in Crisis: PM Wickremesinghe's warning - there may be a shortage of food grains; People queued up for many days for LPG

Posted on 21st May 2022 12:24 pm by rohit kumar

Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has warned of a food shortage in the country. He said that till the next sowing season, we will arrange enough fertilizers to increase the yield of the crops. So that the food demand for the 22 million (22 million) population of the country can be met. In April last year, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa banned all chemical fertilizers. This decision resulted in a huge reduction in crop yields. Later the government withdrew its decision, but by then it was too late.

 

Protests intensify against the Rajapaksa government

 

Protests against the Rajapaksa government in Sri Lanka intensified on Friday. The protesters are camping outside the Parliament and the Rashtrapati Niwas. The police chased them by lathi-charge, in some places the police also fired tear gas shells. People in Sri Lanka are troubled by the energy crisis. In Colombo, people are waiting in line for LPG cylinders for 3-4 days. The government is distributing only 200 cylinders daily.

 

Standing in a queue waiting for cooking gas, Shajli says how can we cook without gas, without kerosene? In a few days, we will start dying of hunger.
