WORLD CUP-WINNING SRI LANKA PLAYER NOW SERVING TEA AND BUNS

New Delhi(The Quiver) :Who is not aware of Sri Lanka’s worst economic crisis ?  the island nation is almost collapsed. Sri Lanka is unable to finance the import of necessities such as food, medicines and fuel since late last year. The country has also been hit severely by a record high inflation and lengthy power blackouts, which have eventually led to protests calling on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to step down.

The people of Sri Lanka are struggling to sustain themselves. Such a news from Srilanka is going viral in social media platforms . Roshan Mahanama, who was a part of the Sri Lankan cricket team that won the 1996 ODI World Cup, shared pictures of him serving tea and buns to people lining up at the petrol station.

“We served tea and buns with the team from Community Meal Share this evening for the people at the petrol queues around Ward Place and Wijerama mawatha. The queues are getting longer by the day and there will be many health risks to people staying in queues,” Mahanama wrote on Twitter.

“Please, look after each other in the fuel queues. Bring adequate fluid and food and if you’re not well please, reach out to the closest person next to you and ask for support or call 1990. We need to look after each other during these difficult times.”
