Regarding the lockdown I must say that this time round other than the bread van no other vans are coming around not all the people have the money or the facilities to shop on line after areal hard month our area elakanda ,Hendala were given the monthly 5000/- it’s still continuing please tell us how we are to live? All the talk of mobile clinics ,mobile banking and the rest look nice on paper please do something about sending out vans with essential stuff with the lockdown not being lifted in the Wattala area we need to live too!
Kitty,
I empathise with you.
Not only in Elakanda, all over the country the situation is the same.
With Jackboots managing the pandemic, what else can you expect?
Kitty, basic problem is that there is no food to distribute. No parrippu, no salmon, no rice.
Govt agencies importing and distributing have no money; there is no foreign currency.
The next 6-12 months will be more difficult.
Some old fellows are going around saying more people die in road accidents than Covid.
They are not counting people dying of starvation.
Of course, they are going to play cricket in Hambantota stadium. That is most important priority.
