Wednesday Government Holiday

Sri Lankan government has declared Wednesdays a holiday for non-essential government services starting March 18, 2026. This measure is primarily due to ongoing fuel shortages and aims to conserve energy resources.

Wait, another random midweek holiday? At this point, Sri Lanka's national calendar looks like Swiss cheese with more holes than actual workdays. Pretty soon we'll need a holiday to recover from all these holidays! 🇱🇰🤷‍♂️
