"There is no strike either in the Petroleum
Corporation or the Ceylon Electricity Board and people should
not panic over a fuel shortage or power cut", Chairman
Petroleum, Jaliya Medagama said yesterday (28).
He said some electronic media station had
reported a non-existent strike in the Petroleum but the normal
supplies and distribution of fuel was continuing without a
problem.
Meanwhile, the Government Information
Department, in a press release issued yesterday (28), said "The
Party Leaders of the UPFA Government have decided that a final
decision on the restructuring of the Ceylon Electricity Board
and the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation be taken after having
further discussions with the relevant trade unions."
