The fuel stocking terminal at Muthurajawela belonging to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) has been closed due to the running out of fuel stocks.
In the backdrop, there is a risk of not receiving fuel even to some filling stations in Colombo, said fuel shed owners.
As of now, the issuance of fuel is limited to the terminal at Kolonnawa and the distribution is being carried out very slowly, they grieved.
Currently, average size queues have been formed at filling stations across the country and are likely to grow further, should the distribution delay further.
