As a result of this, the telephone numbers of CEB to inform about power outages are constantly busy, so the Ceylon Electricity Board informs that the other measures introduced for the same be followed.
The board says that the weather conditions are hindering the continuity of the electricity supply due to falling trees, lightning strikes, etc., blocking the electricity supply lines.
