Due to a severe gasoline scarcity, thousands of protestors holding Sri Lankan flags rode in very few automobiles on the roadways, while others rode bicycles and many more walked to protest locations in the capital city of Colombo.
This occurs a day after the nightly curfew was removed by the Sri Lankan authorities.
For three months, protesters have blocked the door to Rajapaksa’s office, blaming him for the country’s economic problems.
