Sri Lanka Economic Crisis: Locals queued up since 10 days for fuel | ABP News Ground Report

Sri Lanka is queuing up in front of fuel stations. Few people have been waiting since ten days now. This is why people are angry and are taking to streets to demand removal of President Rajapaksa.

On the other hand, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa lifted the state of emergency with immediate effect late on Tuesday. Emergency was imposed on April 1 amid growing crisis in the country. In gazette notification number 2274/10 issued late on Tuesday night, the President said that he had withdrawn the Emergency Rules Ordinance, which gave wide powers to the security forces to prevent any disturbance in the country.
