The Ceylon Petroleum Statutory Corporation emphasizes that the reports that about 300 petrol stations have to be closed daily without fuel are completely untrue.
Even now, approximately 4000 metric tons of diesel and 3000 metric tons of gasoline are being released to the filling stations daily, which is a high figure compared to the previous fuel scarcity period, they point out.
Also, as reported by the media, no filling station has been closed based on the introduction of a priority register, restriction of check facilities, etc., the corporation said.
Below is the announcement they issued.
