Fuel distributors have been advised to resume their business operations as usual and place fuel orders without delay, according to the Vice Chairman of the Fuel Distributors’ Association, Kusum Sananayake.
Speaking at a media briefing today (03), he stated that discussions with the government are ongoing in an effort to resolve the prevailing issues.
He also mentioned that a meeting with the Chairman of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) is scheduled for tomorrow (04). Following this discussion, the association will inform its members about the next course of action.
“We have realized that our decision has caused difficulties for the public. The issue escalated due to the lack of discussion. However, the authorities now understand that this matter cannot be resolved unilaterally, and dialogue is necessary. The CPC Chairman has invited us for a discussion tomorrow at 9:00 AM. Therefore, I urge all distributors to resume operations immediately and continue fuel distribution as before,” Sananayake said. (NewsWire)
