Will not reopen liquor stores on Monday – Excise Department
Liquor stores will not be reopened on Monday (11), despite the resumption of civilian life and functions at private and public sector entities in the Western Province and Puttalam District, the Excise Department has announced.
The Commissioner General of Excise stated that the government has not taken into account reopening of liquor shops when restoring normalcy in the lives of the general public.
As people failed to adhere to the health guidelines when liquor shops were reopened during curfew-relaxed hours, the government had decided to keep the stores closed.
Certain people are passing on false claims that liquor stores will be reopened when the civilian life resumes on Monday (11), the Commissioner General said further.

is this not against the fundamental rights of those who want to consume liquor
Certainly it is against the fundamental rights of the Sri Lankens the top o liquor consumers and surfers of porn web sites in the world.
Ranjith, if only you eelamist’s wife and sister were not so naughty and “exhibiting,” Sri Lankans would not be top in surfing p*rn websites (as you say)! hahaha…I hear Toiletnade is top in the production of such “hot” material…..Hehehehe
Actually “Ranjith” surfing for web p*rn is better than what your lot did – i.e. the Eelamist/LTTE horrific act of kidnapping young Tamil girls, raping/sexually abusing them first and then teaching them how to blow themselves up with explosive, often with explosives packed into their bra, and sending them out into hit civilian targets and killing and maiming innocents by the hundreds!
Kevin I agree with you. Of course they are barbaric murders. No terrorist in the world attack children. But these cowards did it. For your information I am a patriotic Sinhalese. All I am saying Sinhalese to be united because what is coming from terrorist Muslims will be more dangerous.
