Bandula Saman Kumara, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Progressive Employees’ Union, said that if the CEB could not supply the required amount of fuel, the entire country would have to be left in the dark before long.
He has pointed out that although an order of around 2000 tons has been received so far, the oil refinery has not been able to supply it.
He was speaking at a protest against the closure of the Sapugaskanda oil refinery.
