President Gotabaya Rajapaksa instructed all responsible parties to take steps to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
The President made this observation at a special discussion held at the Presidential Secretariat yesterday regarding the existing power cuts and the fuel issue.
After lengthy discussions with officials of the Ministries of Power and Energy, it was decided to continue importing fuel without delay, maintaining reserves and supply of fuel and coal for power generation. The officials said that there would be no power cuts from March 5.
The distribution of fuel to all fuel stations across the country will be normalised from tomorrow (03). Therefore, the officials urged the public to refrain from collecting fuel out of irrational fear.
