LIOC temporarily halts fuel distribution to filling stations

In view of the planned anti-government protest, Lanka IOC Company has decided to suspend fuel distribution to petrol stations today and tomorrow.

However, the Company's terminals at Trincomalee remain open and fuel supply to Ceylon Petroleum Chartered Corporation (CPC) and all industries continues.

Manoj Gupta, managing director of Indian Oil Corporation's Sri Lankan subsidiary, said fuel deliveries to petrol stations are expected to resume from Sunday (July 10) morning.
