Sri Lanka's present fuel inventories, according to authorities at the Ceylon Electricity Board, will last until Tuesday morning, which is less than 24 hours away.
Officials are scheduled to meet tomorrow in what appears to be a last-minute effort to examine fuel procurement strategies to ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply.
Speaking to WION, Minister of Energy Udaya Gammanpila said if the Ceylon Electricity Board needs fuel continuously, it must provide US dollars to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation.
