BLOODY HELL!

The Daily Mirror exclusively reports that the government has been hit by another faulty transaction when a sum of 74,000 dirham was erroneously credited to another account in February.

The transaction was to be made to a Sri Lankan Airlines service provider in Dubai who never received the payment. Govt has confirmed the error.

“He did not provide proof, so he was not appointed as Speaker,” Minister Vijitha Herath responding to questions about the incident involving former Speaker Asoka Ranwala and his unverified academic credentials.
Herath said the government acted fairly in the matter. He also stated that Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody has not engaged in corruption and that the government continues to support him.

The National System Control Centre has requested rooftop solar system owners to voluntarily switch off their solar inverters today (14 April 2026) until 3:00 PM, citing significantly low electricity demand during the festive season.

In a notice issued to Solar PV customers, the authorities said the measure is intended to ensure the reliable and stable operation of the national grid during the Sinhala and Tamil New Year period, when electricity consumption typically declines.

The request was made on behalf of EDL (Private) Limited and NSO (Private) Limited, who noted that excess solar generation during periods of low demand can create operational challenges for grid stability.

The National System Control Centre said cooperation from rooftop solar users would help maintain a continuous, secure, and stable electricity supply across the country during the festive period.

Solar system owners were therefore encouraged to voluntarily switch off their solar inverters until 3:00 PM today to support grid management efforts.

BREAKING: Sri Lanka’s Navy Commander is in utter political crisis after Iran’s ambassador to Sri Lanka publicly contradicted the President of Sri Lanka on live record about who invited Iranian warships to the island.

This morning, Iranian Ambassador to Sri Lanka Dr. Alireza Delkhosh held a press conference and stated that the Sri Lankan government “officially invited” three Iranian warships, IRIS Dena, IRIS Bushehr, and IRIS Lavan, for a goodwill visit. He said the invitation came from Sri Lanka. He said delays in the host country’s procedures left the IRIS Dena exposed in the Indian Ocean, where on March 4 a US submarine torpedoed and sank it 19 nautical miles off the coast of Galle. 104 unarmed sailors were killed. The ship sank in two to three minutes. It was the first torpedo sinking of a warship by a US submarine since World War II.

Three days ago, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake told Parliament the opposite. He said Iran requested the goodwill port call. He said the US separately requested permission to land fighter jets at Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport on March 4 and 8. He said Sri Lanka rejected both requests to maintain strict neutrality. The President’s narrative: Iran asked, we said no until it became an emergency, we acted on humanitarian grounds under the Hague Conventions. The Ambassador’s narrative: Sri Lanka invited them. The Navy Commander facilitated.

One of these statements is false. If the ambassador is telling the truth, the Navy Commander extended an invitation to Iranian warships without presidential authorisation during the build-up to the largest military conflict since Iraq, placing 104 sailors in the path of an American torpedo. If the President is telling the truth, Iran’s ambassador is fabricating a diplomatic record to shift blame for the Dena sinking onto Sri Lanka. Either way, Navy Commander Vice Admiral Kanchana Banagala is now at the centre of the most consequential diplomatic contradiction in Sri Lanka’s modern history.

The stakes extend far beyond protocol. Sri Lanka depends on Iranian crude delivered via shadow fleet tankers to supply the Sapugaskanda refinery. The island is already rationing fuel. Government offices closed Wednesdays to conserve diesel. LPG queues have returned for the first time since the 2022 sovereign default. Fertiliser imports through the Gulf are blocked by the Hormuz closure. China, which supplied 34 percent of Sri Lanka’s fertiliser, has banned exports. The Atlantic Council reported from Galle that LPG has disappeared from shops and restaurants are shuttering. The 2021 organic farming disaster, which collapsed rice yields 40 percent and cost $425 million in lost tea exports, was a policy choice. The 2026 fertiliser crisis is a consequence of a war 4,000 kilometres away.

If this diplomatic row damages the Iran relationship, the shadow fleet crude that keeps Sapugaskanda running could hesitate. If it damages the US relationship, the special envoy pressure on repatriation could intensify. Sri Lanka rejected both sides to stay neutral. The ambassador just told the world that one side was invited. Neutrality requires that neither side believes it was favoured. As of this morning, Iran believes it was. The tightrope just lost a wire.

Sri Lanka survived the 2022 default. It survived the organic farming catastrophe. It may not survive a neutrality collapse during a war that controls its fuel, its fertiliser, and its food.

Would you rather have them use fuel consuming vehicles ? ☺️

[NewsWire 🇱🇰 @NewsWireLK]

Electricity demand has surged by nearly 300MW during peak hours (6pm–10pm), partly due to rising electric vehicle use, President AKD says.

He urges EV owners to switch to daytime charging, when excess power is available.

It's funny how the #NPP government gets a free pass as "incompetence" while under any other government this would qualify as "corruption" according to the anti-corruption crusaders of #lka.

😅

[Chandu Anusanka @canusanka]

Thank you so much for what you have done, @kanchana_wij. Otherwise, this government wouldn’t have known what to do. If you hadn’t built the fuel pass system, they still wouldn’t have had any solution for managing the fuel crisis. Credit should always be given where it is due.
