Sri Lanka's Emergency
Sri Lanka has issued a state of emergency for 10 days. A new curfew was issued in Kandy after the announcement of the emergency announcement on Tuesday. Then the armed police commandos named after the city streets.
According to a Reuters news agency quoting a government spokesman, a state of emergency has been issued for communal riots so that they can not spread.
Kandy has had a clash between the Buddhists and the Muslim community on Monday. A spokesman for the local police told AFP that hundreds of commandos were deployed by the Special Task Force of the police in the streets of the rioting. In the riots yesterday, two people have been killed and many houses of Muslims have been damaged. Nearly 24 people have been arrested in the riots.
