From @Meerasrini who clears up one big misconception on #Katchatheevu now doing the rounds: "Are fishermen arrests related to the island? No, they are not. Invariably, the arrests are made well past Katchatheevu, very close to Sri Lanka’s northern shores. Although many…

CSDS-Lokniti survey: '48% say life had become ‘better’ over last 5 years while one-third say condition had become worse. For a government in power for a decade, it is somewhat creditable that a large section perceives their condition has improved.'
