The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO), Lanka Indian Oil Corporation (LIOC) and Sinopec Energy Lanka have been directed to maintain 50% of their relevant fuel stocks, at minimum, at all filling stations.
Accordingly, State Minister of Power and Energy D.V. Chanaka disclosed that the relevant directive was issued by Minister Kanchana Wijesekera in a bid to avoid any shortages during the festive season.
Meanwhile, the Fuel Distributors’ Association, too, guaranteed that fuel supply at all filling stations will remain uninterrupted during the festive season.
On Friday (22 Dec.), Minister Wijesekera revealed that the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has been instructed to suspend all planned power interruptions for non-essential maintenance work on weekends and during the holiday season, in order to ensure an uninterrupted supply of electricity.
