More fuel to arrive tomorrow

Another fuel tanker carrying fuel under the Indian Credit Line will arrive in Sri Lanka tomorrow (31), Energy Minister Gamini Lokuge said.

Minister Lokuge also said that the public would not face shortage of fuel during the upcoming festive season as enough fuel stocks will be available by April.

Unloading of fuel from the ship which arrived in Sri Lanka carrying 37,500 metric tons of diesel on Sunday began by Monday evening once the relevant transactions were completed, Minister Lokuge said.

The Government had to pay Rs. 52 million for this shipment.
