The All Ceylon Private Bus Owners Association says that tomorrow (26) private bus service may be reduced by 50%.
The association claims that the reason for this is the insufficient release of fuel by SLTB depots.
In the meantime, it has been revealed that about 2100 business institutions have installed tanks to store fuel in their warehouses, according to Mr. Kanchana Wijesekera, the Minister of Power and Energy.
He points out that many institutions have not taken proper permission for that.
However, he also said that in the future, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation will stop supplying fuel to the organizations that are acting in defiance of the instructions of the Ministry of Energy.
