The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) has assured that there will be no fuel shortage in the country under any circumstances.

 According to the CPC Chairman – D.J. Rajakaruna, the CPC has already placed and confirmed orders for the fuel required for the next 02 months and there is absolutely no reason to anticipate a fuel shortage in the country.

He said however there are concerns about where the fuel shipments will originate from and whether there is an impact due to the war.

Rajakaruna also warned that legal action would be taken against those found hoarding fuel illegally.
