"Those Who Purchase LP Gas Have Considerable Income: They Can Get It Delivered": Police Spokesman Responds To Concerns

"Those who purchase LP Gas for domestic purposes have a certain level of income. They can get it delivered to their doorsteps," Police Media Spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said.

Speaking to a TV channel this morning, the Police Spokesman expressed his ideas on difficulties faced by the public when adhering to guidelines set by the police. Although travel restrictions were temporarily relaxed this morning, the public were directed not to use their vehicles as a way of ensuring social distancing.

Following this decision, many raised concerns over the practical difficulties associated with this decisions - especially when purchasing heavy items such as LP Gas.

However, Rohana said relief measures would be granted to those with special needs.

"Health authorites wanted to continue the restrictions without any relaxation. But, we temporarily relaxed some restrictions considering the difficulties faced by the public," the Police Spokesman added.
