Sri Lanka’s Deputy Minister of Defence Aruna Jayasekera told Parliament on Thursday (06) that the next few weeks could be a critical period for the country as military tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East.
Speaking during a parliamentary session, the minister cautioned that Sri Lanka may face delays in receiving certain essential services in the near future. According to him, these possible disruptions are linked to restrictions placed on maritime and air transport routes due to the ongoing regional conflict.
Jayasekera further explained that the government has taken steps to extend the current State of Emergency in order to safeguard the uninterrupted functioning of vital services during this uncertain period.
He noted that limitations affecting both sea and air transportation could slow the arrival of supplies and services that the country depends on. Therefore, the government believes careful management of essential services is necessary in the weeks ahead as the situation develops.
