United National Party (UNP) Deputy Leader Harin Fernando has issued a stark warning, predicting that Sri Lanka will face a severe economic crisis by the Sinhala New Year (April 2026) due to the new government's inefficiency in managing the aftermath of the 'Dithwa' cyclone disaster.

Dr. Hemakumara Nanayakkara, a figure often described as a 'revolutionary' in Sri Lankan politics and a former Minister of Agriculture, has announced an "historic decision" to withdraw from the senior leadership of the Sarvajana Balaya political alliance. He has further resolved not to join any political party henceforth, choosing instead to dedicate his full-time efforts to the "dignity, pride of the nation, and the upliftment of Buddhism."

The Sri Lanka Grama Niladhari Union has leveled a severe allegation against ruling party politicians, accusing them of forcibly interfering in the process of distributing relief to victims of the recent severe disaster, and pressuring state officials.
