COLOMBO, Jun 18 (NNN-XINHUA) – The Sri Lankan government, yesterday announced that, public sector employees will work from home for two weeks, starting from Monday.
The government took this decision, taking into consideration the impact of fuel shortages on public and private transport.
However, employees of essential services have to report for duty as usual.
The Sri Lankan government announced that, only 100 gas stations were provided with fuel yesterday. The situation led to the longest ever fuel queues in the country.
About 85 percent of private buses were not operational due to diesel shortage.
Sri Lanka suffered crippling fuel shortages since Feb, as a foreign exchange crisis worsened in the country.– NNN-XINHUA
