If kerosene misused, supply will be limited: Energy Minister rings siren again

Date:

The supply of kerosene will have to be limited in the future, said Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara said, in what he described as a move to prevent the kerosene stocks being seriously misused.

Due to the kerosene stocks being misused, parties who require kerosene as an essential necessity are not receiving enough stocks, the Minister stressed, revealing that actions will be taken to restrict the issuance of kerosene.

Accordingly, kerosene will be supplied to only essential services including the fisheries industry, Wijesekara added.

However, the consumers have a very different opinion regarding the issuance of kerosene, stating that the supply has highly been restricted already. Several rural areas had not received kerosene for the last few months, they disclosed.
