October 29, Colombo (LNW): Laugfs Gas PLC has assured the public that the current shortage of its gas cylinders across Sri Lanka will be alleviated within the next two to three days.

Chairman Dr. W.K.H. Wegapitiya explained that several regions are currently facing shortages due to logistical disruptions, compounded by delays in recent gas shipments.

Dr. Wegapitiya highlighted that recent delays were primarily caused by international supply challenges, worsened by Middle Eastern conflicts which affected import schedules.

Adding to the setback, the main Laugfs terminal recently experienced significant flooding, further disrupting distribution efforts.

However, relief is now in sight, as a vessel carrying a fresh LP gas shipment for Laugfs arrived at Hambantota Port yesterday (28). Dr. Wegapitiya assured that, with this new supply, distribution will quickly resume, restoring gas availability across the island in the coming days.
