Bus service could be completely disrupted if the diesel crisis continues till tomorrow – Gemunu(VIDEO)

Date:

Gemunu Wijeratne, President of the Ceylon Private Bus Owners’ Association says that if the diesel shortage that has been prevailing for several days continues today (25), the private bus service could be completely stopped.

“Even today (24) only 25% – 35% of buses operate in Sri Lanka. There is no diesel at fuel stations. Due to the lack of fuel, there are queues at places where there is fuel. Hence bus owners all over Sri Lanka have repeatedly informed me that it is not possible to run buses without fuel. Even at this moment, we are in a serious crisis as our buses are unable to get fuel. Therefore, the bus service could be completely disrupted if it continues till tomorrow. ”

Gemunu Wijeratne stated this addressing a media briefing held yesterday (24).
