Middle East Conflict Impact

Sri Lanka is experiencing potential energy and fuel supply challenges due to ongoing Middle East tensions. The country is taking measures to conserve energy, including encouraging stair use over elevators.

Seems like Sri Lanka's energy-saving strategy is basically "take the stairs or we'll blame the Middle East conflict" - because nothing says global diplomacy like sweaty bureaucrats huffing up five flights instead of pushing an elevator button. Meanwhile, diplomats are playing diplomatic Ping-Pong with proposals while Russia's like, "We got your back... maybe... probably... who knows?"
