What a tragedy Sri Lanka has become. All school examinations have been cancelled because there is no paper. There is no paper because there is no money to import it. There is no fuel for cooking. A thousand bakeries are closed. Many power plants have shut down leading to extensive power cuts. Some 50,000 gas cylinders used to be supplied in a month. It's down to 2,000 now; the impact on households can be imagined. One citizen put it bluntly: "We can't even afford a headache; there's no medicine."
