Mobitel Inner

Priority in the distribution of the latest shipment of 3,500 metric tonnes of LP gas will be given to hospitals, hotels and crematoriums, says Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

 

The payment for this LP gas shipment was made yesterday and it is currently being unloaded.

 

Unloading of a consignment of 3,600 metric tonnes of LP gas began today (June 14) after the balance payment of USD 2.5 million was settled.

 

The LP gas tanker was anchored for over six days off Thaldiyawatta coast in Kerawalapitiya as the balance payment was delayed.

 

PM Wickremesinghe further stated that LP gas sufficient for four months can be obtained from the next shipments that are expected to arrive in the country.

 

“It will take 14 days for that, however, we expect to obtain at least one shipment before that for which we are currently in talks.”
