How can they reduce egg roll by 20/-? Only 1/4 egg in a roll!

There are more things involved in making an egg roti. It would help if you studied economics and basic accounting.

why the previous government could not do this? IN the upcoming election people should cast their votes wisely.

Just saying that some of these items have been reduced by Rs.20/- or Rs.30/- will never take the message to all these eateries. What needs to be done is to implement a standardized price so that customers will know they will not be charged exorbitantly adducing reasons such as that some special ingredients have been added to defeat the price reduction. To ensure a fair price the Consumer Affairs Authority should carry out inspections and delinquent eateries should be fined so that all will get the message that the government means what it says in a Peoples' party otherwise face the consequences!!!!!!

People will see the difference soon. Prices are dropping as the middle men who made a buck is getting eliminated through fear. Fuel and Gas prices too will fall when the middle men back out slowly

Whether the price is reduced or not, majority of spots where short eats are served, usually unfit for consumption. The mixed ingredients which is inserted in short eats is totally unsuitable.

The Govt should add Milk powder prices to this list which is unaffordable to the masses at current prices.

With the price reduction the quality and quantity will also reduce. Unhealthy food/ using rotten vegetables and expired other items. Our Sri Lankans will never do anything truthful especially food outlets without a gain
