Power crisis: Fuel sufficient for three days only, trying to seek IOC’s help, says Lokuge (VIDEO)

Date:

The fuel available for power generation is sufficient for only three days and therefore, attempts will be made to obtain fuel from the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) Company, Power Minister Gamini Lokuge said, speaking to media today (17)

Accordingly, instructions have been given to the Chairman of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to hold discussions with the IOC in this regard, the Minister revealed, adding that he too will take participation in this discussion, if necessary.

Fuel has to be located for an uninterrupted supply of power until January 22, he added, pointing out that maximum efforts will be put to provide an uninterrupted supply.
