Colombo: The death toll in the ongoing conflict in Sri Lanka has risen to eight following the financial crisis. More than 200 people were injured in the violence in Colombo and other cities. Mahinda Rajapaksa, 76, resigned as Sri Lanka’s prime minister on Monday amid a financial crisis. His followers then attacked anti-government protesters. Later, President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa imposed a nationwide curfew. Troops have been deployed in the capital as part of efforts to restore peace.

The people set fire to the homes of several politicians and the ancestral home of the Rajapaksas in Hambantota. The house of Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and his younger brother and president, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, was set on fire in the violence in Medamulana, Hambantota.

Protesters also set fire to Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa’s residence in Kurunegala. The DA Rajapaksa monument erected in memory of the fathers of Mahinda and Gotabhaya at Medamulana in Hambantota was also destroyed by the mob.

Imaduwa Pradesh Sabha chairman AV Sarath Kumar was killed in an attack on his residence on Monday. Kumaran (63) was admitted to the hospital following a heart attack. One person has been killed in an attack on a prominent hotel in Negombo. Multiple luxury cars worth lakhs of rupees were completely destroyed. SLPP MP Amarakeerthi Athukorala and his security guard were killed in the attack on Monday.
The Colombo National Hospital said 217 people had been admitted for treatment. Protesters destroyed several properties belonging to ruling party ministers and legislators.

Protests have been going on since last month over soaring prices and power cuts. Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis since independence from Britain in 1948. The crisis was caused by the lack of foreign currency.

Since April 9, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets across Sri Lanka demanding the resignation of President Gotabhaya and his brother Mahinda. Rising prices of essential commodities and severe shortages of fuel, medicine, and electricity have left people angry.
At a special cabinet meeting on Friday, President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa declared a state of emergency with effect from midnight on Friday. This is the second time in a month that Sri Lanka has declared a state of emergency as the island nation is reeling from its worst economic crisis.

Trivandrum: Prices of Indian-made foreign liquor in the state will increase.
The information received is that there is an increase from Rs.15. The companies had long ago demanded that the price of alcohol be increased.  However, the government has not given up. Currently, the rising pressure is due to the scarcity of spirits. Inexpensive liquor is not available at bars and bevco. The government may also succumb to this price increase. And also there are reports that the companies create artificial scarcity before raising alcohol prices.

Several companies are suspending the supply of alcohol to Bevco. They say this is due to the increase in the price of spirits. It pays 14 percent turn-over tax. Companies have been urging that this be avoided for years. In addition, there is excise duty and import duty. Both are closed by liquor companies. However, as a wholesaler, Bevco has to pay for these, companies are arguing.

The Excise Intelligence Unit alerted earlier that the low availability of foreign liquor may be the reason for the influx of counterfeit liquor.
