Gas alone is not sufficient. There should be affordable food too. SL people cannot continue like this.

According to an expert who engages with the researches of malnutrition among children, in particular the Colombo city, said most of the parents of this so called malnutrition children spend more money than a normal parent but for wrong food. Ie. for kottus, junk food, choon paan, etc. Another revelation was shocking. Some of these kids drink a glass of milk in the morning and avoiding breakfast but eat junk food during the interval. That also is a reason for this pathetic situation among school going kids.

Ranil must shoulder part of the blame for the malnutrition of the children as he failed to address the issue

This is impossible in this country protected and saved by the incumbent president. We would not have gas, electricity, fuel and other essential items without him so there is no truth in this news.

This is a main indicator for a bleak future. After WWII destruction, first thing Japanese leaders did was was to make sure people have adequate nutrition. However with uncaring SL leaders , like to the doctor before, they will harass this group for affirming widespread malnutrition

Giving out many bar permits, for political needs, while grossly neglecting the children. This is RW's politics. Period.
