Hambantota (Sri Lanka). Airports are lying vacant in Sri Lanka. There are neither planes nor passengers here. There is no one to dine in such a revolving restaurant, the ports are deeply indebted. These are such monuments built on government expenditure, which have been built by taking loans from China. Due to these projects, Sri Lanka is facing an unprecedented economic crisis. In fact, Sri Lanka had borrowed heavily from China to meet the budget shortfall and trade deficit. It spent this amount on non-negotiable infrastructure projects, causing huge losses to public funds.
According to AFP, Sri Lanka is in the grip of its worst financial crisis ever. The people here are having to worry about even food. There has been a huge shortage of petrol-diesel, LPG. Inflation has increased a lot. The power crisis has also deepened. Disturbed by this, people are taking to the streets and demanding resignation from the government. The public has now become violent due to the opposition of the government and the resignation of the Prime Minister.
