The Chairman of Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminals Limited (CPSTL) says there is sufficient fuel in the country.

 

Addressing a media briefing held today (Nov. 17), Mr. Uvais Mohamed said 40,000 metric tons of diesel are currently being unloaded at Muthurajawela.

 

In addition, 36,000 metric tons of petrol is expected to be received tomorrow, he added.

 

The CPSTL chairman assured the general public that there is no reason to panic unnecessarily.

 

Mr. Uvais said: “We responsibly state to the consumers that there is no shortage of fuel. Therefore there is no need to panic and surround fuel stations. We responsibly state that there are sufficient stocks of fuel required by the country in our storages.” 

 

“In addition to this, right now as I speak, 40,000 metric tons of diesel is being unloaded in Muthurajawela. In addition to that, another 36,000 metric tons of petrol will be brought down tomorrow. Another 40,000 metric tons of diesel will be arriving on November 19.”
