Pada Yathra (the protest march) and the costs associated with it.
Social media are reporting different numbers and some are obviously exaggerated.
Assuming that 100,000 people have attended the march, here are the costs and you do the math later.
If every person’s Man-hour worth is LKR 100 per hour, they have spent nearly six hours daily and for almost a good week walking.
I leave you to do the math and that was what the country lost in terms of GDP.
The creation of traffic jams led to vehicles burning more gas than usual.
The public who commuted on those have lost valuable time as well.
We again lost in terms of GDP and our Forex will be strained because we need to import more gas from aboard.
The members of OPEC are the beneficiary.
