A decision has been taken to suspend the licences of 40 fuel stations that have continuously not adhered to the National Fuel Pass QR quotas, Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera said on Thursday (06).
Minister Wijesekera said the decision was taken during a progress review meeting held with the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) and Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminals Limited (CPSTL) management and officers this morning.
He further stated that it was also decided that all fuel stations will be required to maintain a minimum of 50% of stock tank capacity.
The minister added that GPS tracking systems will be fixed to all CPC-owned fuel tankers by 15th April and will be thereafter implemented for all private tankers as well. (NewsWire)
