Health Ministry has instructed the fuel stations to prioritise the supply of fuel for ambulances based on requirement.
Instructions have been made to restrict the issuance of petrol to cans in order to minimise the existing stockpiles.
These instructions have been made a day after the Sapugaskanda Oil refinery was closed due to insufficient amount of crude oil.
According to the CEYPETCO, no definite date has been declared on the arrival of crude oil stocks despite orders. The refinery will become functional again once the stocks arrive, it added.
