Sri Lanka is reeling under a deep economic crisis as the country’s foreign reserves have been depleted and the Rajapaksa government is struggling to pay for the import of fuel.
As a result, there is an acute power shortage in the country and violent protests are being reported. The government has declared an emergency and a countrywide 36-hour curfew has been imposed due to the protest on Sunday as of now around 600 protesters have been arrested.
In these difficult times, India has come forward to bail the island nation out of the crisis. India has responded to urgent requests from Sri Lanka with promptness.
