Despite govt claims that no importer had prior knowledge of the customs duty surcharge, it is clear that the $23m worth of LCs opened a day before the surcharge was highly unusual, considering the daily average is $8m. @murtazaj suggests backdating by 2 days to solve the problem.

JUST IN: 🇫🇷🇮🇱 France bans Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir from entering the country.

إننا نجدد التأكيد على أن مضيق هرمز سيبقى تحت الإدارة والسيادة الإيرانية الكاملة، حتى في حال التوصل إلى أي اتفاق مستقبلي. وتشدد الجمهورية الإسلامية على أن صلاحيات تحديد مسارات العبور، والتوقيت، وإصدار التراخيص البحرية هي حق سيادي مطلق بيد طهران حصراً.

Are we so blinded by religion that we justify and normalize the rape of children? I am speechless at the audacity of these "professional men" to come in front of cameras and speak like this. We have really failed as a country... Shameful.

Eventually, people will forget about this, and the victimized girl may never receive the justice she deserves.

Roads were inundated this morning in Negombo following heavy overnight rain.

When it comes to IT, this is a very pertinent question. I'm hearing of a lot of unsolicited proposals pushed by Digital Ministry on other institutions. @anuradisanayake seems oblivious.

“Welcome to Israel.” Footage posted by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir showing detained Gaza flotilla activists has sparked international backlash, drawing criticism from European leaders, Israeli officials and social media users.

@ZainulMahas @AingkaranK Wasn’t he a former military guy or he had some kind of affiliation iirc

@AingkaranK Willfully ignorant

It never ceases to amaze me how someone can be incredibly successful and spectacularly ignorant at the same time.

It's a child you pig. Children can't consent let alone do whatever the fuck you accuse her of here... This is the sign of a sick and diseased mind. #SriLanka #Pohottuwa Scum

India’s ban on the export of raw, white and refined sugar affects sugar availability in Sri Lanka. In 2025, India accounted for 50% of Sri Lanka’s 656,381 metric tonnes of sugar imports. While Sri Lanka produces its own sugar cane, the domestic supply of raw sugar is largely import dependent. Brazil, the world’s largest sugar exporter is Sri Lanka’s second largest source of imports – accounting for 25% of 2025 sugar imports. India’s sugar ban is meant to stabilise domestic prices in the face of rising production costs stemming from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Exports to US and EU are exempted from the ban, as are any government-to-government exports. Although Sri Lanka and India have a free trade agreement, sugar imports from India are subject to standard duties, as sugar is a highly protected industry. Sri Lanka sugar importers have assured a steady supply through alternate markets.

Sri Lanka spent nearly USD 600 million on vehicle imports in the first quarter of 2026, with Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe warning the annual bill could climb to USD 2.4 billion, surpassing last year’s USD 2 billion. He noted last year’s imports had already exceeded forecasts of USD 1.5–1.7 billion, boosting Treasury revenue, and stressed that despite rising costs, government tax targets remain unaffected.
