Power outages were reported in several parts of the country yesterday (11), causing inconvenience to residents and businesses.
According to reports, electricity breakdowns occurred in areas including Gampaha, Kalutara, Ratnapura, Beruwala, Puttalam and Anuradhapura.
The disruptions are linked to trade union action by electricity sector workers over a number of demands. As a result of the industrial action, more than 12,000 electricity breakdowns have been recorded across the island.
Authorities said technical teams are currently working to restore power in the affected areas, while the situation continues to impact thousands of households nationwide.
