Fuel distribution operations are underway at the Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminals Limited (CPTSL) and depots, said the Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera.
He added that trains and both government-owned and dealer-owned tankers are being utilized for transposition.
The private hired tanker members are those from the Sri Lanka Petroleum Private Tanker Owners’ Association who are on strike since midnight on Saturday (30).
The Sri Lanka Petroleum Private Tanker Owners’ Association is on a strike due to the failure of the discussion held with the subject Minister regarding 60% increase in fares demanded by private fuel tanker owners.
