Chairman of Litro Gas Theshara Jayasinghe has handed in his letter of resignation to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, officials confirmed.
"During his tenure, Litro Gas faced several issues including production issues, a severe shortage of cylinders, and price hikes. Prices were expected to increase after the Awurudu season too. He overcame all these issues. However, Litro, as a company, will face further difficulties, and since the Government itself is not taking any concrete decisions pertaining to these issues, Theshara has decided to step down", the official said.
A communique on whether President Rajapaksa has accepted the letter is yet to be issued, however.
In his letter, Jayasinghe noted that although the President supported him, this was not the case with the Subject Minister and State Officials related to the sector.
