It has been decided by the Cabinet of Ministers today (27) that only essential services will be operating until the 10th of July.
Accordingly, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) will only be issuing fuel for essential services.
The essential services include Ports, Airports, Health, Food Distribution and Agriculture.
Cabinet Spokesperson Bandula Gunawadhane said that all other sectors must operate from home and the public must support the cause by using limited fuel.
