Sri Lanka Police has launched a probe into a group claiming to be fuel distributors and causing disruptions to the fuel distribution process of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC).
The Police said a complaint has been received on a group claiming to be fuel distributors causing disruptions due to the issue that has arisen concerning the CPC’s decision to abolish the 3% commission given to petroleum separators in fuel distribution.
The complaint states that the group was acting in a manner to inconvenience the government and the public.
As such, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has launched a probe into the matter.
The Police warned that the necessary actions would be taken against people found to be causing inconvenience to the public using the fuel issue. (Newswire)
