Auto rickshaw driver Lakmal Ruwan waits outside a fuel station expecting to refill petrol in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Thursday, June 2, 2022. Barely three weeks have passed since Ranil Wickremesinghe assumed duties as Prime Minister of Sri Lanka which has engulfed in an unprecedented economic and political crisis. Analysts say Wickremesinghe has managed to boost confidence of the people and ensure transparency in the policy process aimed at resolving the crisis, but at the ground level, people are still languishing in long queues to buy fuel and cooking gas while prices of essentials are soaring.
