Vijitha Herath resigned from his chairmanship at the LITRO Gas Company as he denied the purchase of gas for higher prices, said SJB MP Chaminda Wijesiri, calling in a briefing in Colombo today (11).
As per the information received, some party had pressured the LITRO Chief to purchase gas for higher prices with the gas price surge, the MP revealed.
Herath, on the other hand, had denied such purchases due to the prevailing situation in the country, hence the resignation, he added.
