Fuel stations across the country have been overcrowded since this morning.
This situation is due to the fear among the people that there will be a shortage of fuel.
Power and Energy Minister Udaya Gammanpila states that there is no shortage of fuel. But he says there is a shortage in Colombo.
However, with the announcement of the curfew from tonight until the 30th, the queues at petrol stations have increased.
Many gas stations have run out of fuel due to this.
