Snippet:
Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) Chairman Janaka Rajakaruna said that Sri Lanka’s fuel supply remains secure despite regional tensions. He clarified that finished oil products, including petrol and diesel, are not sourced from the Middle East (ME), meaning the ongoing conflict will not result in domestic shortages. Speaking at a press briefing at the Government Information Department yesterday (2), Rajakaruna urged the public to refrain from panic buying, noting that such actions are both unnecessary and illegal.
