Letter to IGP urging security for fuel tanker trucks!

Date:

Fuel transportation is unsafe amidst the current crisis in the country, said the Petroleum Private Tanker Owners Association, warning that it may have to withdraw from fuel transportation if proper safety is not provided.

Union President D.V. Shantha Silva has forwarded a letter to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) explaining the situation and requesting the Police to provide protection to tanker trucks carrying fuel.

Silva added that he is hoping that the Police would take an action soon to solve the problem given that the country is in a state of uncertainty and that the lives of the tanker truck drivers as well as the safety of the tanker trucks are at risk.
