The attack on peaceful protesters by pro-government supporters sparked a dangerous escalation, increasing the risk of further deadly violence and worsened the political unrest in Sri Lanka. Seven people have been killed and more than 225 wounded in a wave of violence in Sri Lanka where the Prime Minister resigned after weeks of protests over a worsening economic crisis.
As violence spread late into Monday night, authorities imposed an indefinite curfew across the nation and called in the military to help contain the violence. Armed forces were ordered to open fire at anyone causing harm to others or looting public property. People are going through a time of distress. The shortage of essentials such as gas, fuel, milk powder, medicine etc., have really affected the lives of people. By God’s Grace the staff are keeping fine and are able to continue their work despite the chaotic situation in the country.
