Diesel and petrol have been distributed to Colombo and surrounding cities in significant amounts said Energy Minister speaking to media today (24) following months of obsessed crowds near fuel stations amid the fuel crisis in Sri Lanka.
The Energy Minister added that the distribution continued as usual from 06 am today and another decision has been taken to distribute a diesel bowser and a petrol bowser to every filling station in Colombo during the morning and afternoon hours.
Meanwhile, every kerosene filling station in Colombo will also be supplied with a bowser, Lokuge noted.
Based on the current distribution method, the fuel crisis may be over in about a week or two, he further told media.
