April 01, Colombo (LNW): The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) has announced that motorists across the country will be permitted to obtain fuel today regardless of whether their vehicle registration numbers are odd or even, offering a brief reprieve from recent rationing measures.
According to CEYPETCO officials, the decision was made after a careful review of current fuel stocks, supply stability, and public demand. The move is expected to ease long queues at filling stations and provide some flexibility to commuters who have been constrained by the number plate system in recent weeks.
Managing Director Mayura Neththikumarage explained that the temporary relaxation is expected to improve public convenience while maintaining control over fuel distribution.
