Fuel supply only for essential services from midnight today

Date:

Fuel will be supplied only to vehicles attached to essential services, with effect from midnight today (27), said Minister Bandula Gunawardena.

The restriction will stand in effect till July 10, the Minister noted, speaking to the briefing held in announcing Cabinet decisions today.

Accordingly, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) will supply diesel and petrol only to essential services such as ports, health sector, essential food distribution, and transportation of agricultural products, he added.

The Minister also noted that the government will implement a mechanism to provide a continuous supply of gas and fuel after July 10.

Inter-provincial transport services will be temporarily halted due to the limited availability of fuel, Gunawardena noted.
