The prices of essential items like food and medical care continue to rise in Sri Lanka.
Because of this, there was some violence by people. This led to the police enforcing a 36 hour curfew in Sri Lanka, which was to end at 0600 hours ( 6 am) on Monday, 4th April.
However, citizens refused to honour the curfew and came out to get supplies. The curfew was lifted on Friday.
On Monday, the entire cabinet of Sri Lanka resigned.
Sri Lanka’s President and Prime Minister belong to the same family – the Rajpaksas. The family members also hold key cabinet posts, including the Ministry of Finance.
