In Pictures: Long lines again as curfew temporarily lifts in many districts

News

Long lines were again visible in many areas of the country where the curfew was temporarily lifted at 6.00am this morning (26) as people queued up to buy essential items.

While social distancing guidelines laid down by authorities were being observed in some places, there were other places where people were bunched up together.

There was also a shortage of public transport services in some areas.

Our photograher captured these images at Akuressa town in the Matara district this morning.
