All through
the red onion time there was a hive of activity and the Assistant
Commissioner in Jaffna ran round in circles attending to getting pink onions
and dispatching them by the wagon load to Tripoli as very well as to cities like

I

of pink onions came from Jaffna. We sold to the traders at a wholesale price and
also sold at a low cost level in our retail device at Galle. It was my undertaking to see

hardly ever ran out of crimson onions. I was in Galle on a specific day and every little thing was
in order. I got again to Ambalantota my headquarters by night.

observing irrespective of whether they experienced pink onions and finding the sale rate.

I
went to our retail device and observed they had enough stocks. I experienced my network of

Dahanayake. He was not at dwelling and I waited until he came. It was several hours but I
had to satisfy him. He came house at all-around ten o’ clock in the night and was
surprised to see me waiting for him.

I
confirmed him the telegram and informed him that there was no scarcity of red onions
at all in Galle. He looked tough at me for a moment. I knew him effectively and was in
constant contact…
