Colombo, Sri Lanka - Sri Lanka's government has imposed a nationwide state of emergency to "take stern action" against people instigating communal violence, according to a government spokesperson.
The measure follows a local curfew that was imposed on Monday in the central city of Kandy, after days of unrest between religious communities, which was triggered by the death of MG Kumarasinghe, a Buddhist man from Medamahanuwara in Kandy district.
The 41-year-old succumbed to his injuries after being assaulted by a few Muslim youth, who were reportedly under the influence of alcohol.
This incident had taken place over a motor accident a few days ago and was a domestic dispute that was not racial in nature.
Observers report that the family of the victim were compensated and the matter had been amicably settled with the involvement of local Muslim and Buddhist clergy and the family of the victim.
