Following reports on a possible disruption in internet connections triggered by the power and fuel crises, it was revealed that telephone signal towers have not been able to operate properly.
The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka yesterday declared that a 13-hour power cut will occur today, and the daily power cuts are seemingly occurring for more than 10 hours.
The Ministry of Technology stated that a special initiative has been launched to provide diesel without any shortage to every telephone tower as a solution to the problem.
These towers continued to operate using generators during power outages, but the operations were seized due to the shortage of diesel.
Therefore, the Ministry emphasised that the signal towers will be provided uninterrupted fuel for their operations.
