Public protests continued in Sri Lanka on Saturday evening with an increasing number of people lining up on the roads holding candles in Kelaniya, Kohuwala and Mount Lavinia against the ongoing economic hardships.

Several people lined up outside the Kelaniya Rajamaha Vihara, and on the streets of Kohuwala and Mount Lavinia against the government's failures and urging an immediate solution to the present crises.

Protestors held placards calling on the government to go home if they are unable to govern the country alleging that the power, fuel, Forex and economic issues had stemmed from severe mismanagement.

The groups who had participated in protests were not affiliated to any political groups and urged all politicians to stop playing with the lives of the citizens.

My question is if current goverment knows that what they are getting from previous goverment, mainly debts then why they took the goverment rather than let preivious goverment to sort out the mess?. Why they gave falls promises? People should clearly consider their votes in next ele tion. Should vote for policies not for a person or party.

Good that most of us in the Western Province is not polarized by the Politicians anymore, and we are also feeling/living the debacle the country is in. I only wish that for the sake of our Country and the Future Generations that this will lead to better times ahead for all. Thats my sincere wish

Utterly non-sense, nothing but a political demonstration.
