Avoid polls until May, say intellectuals and farmers

16 October, 2022

Many farmer organisations and intellectuals have called upon the Government to refrain from holding any election until the end of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year.

Some of them have asked the Government not to hold the proposed Local Government election as well. Holding an election before March could adversely affect the harvesting period during the Maha season, which starts in March, they said. The Government has already made arrangements to import and distribute fertiliser, insecticides and weedicides for the Maha season under the fertiliser distribution program.
