Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara speaking to a briefing held today (19) warned he will halt fuel supply should the people’s conduct of threatening and interfering with bowsers transporting fuel continue.
The Minister revealed that in some places people have forcibly halted fuel bowsers, pressured the carriers to unload fuel in stations that are not relevant to their orders and even threatened them that their bowsers will be set on fire should they fail to unload.
Should the situation continue, the supply of fuel will have to be halted for the safety of bowsers, he added.
