Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera predicted an indefinite delay in receiving
new oil shipments, the news was made the next day.
Wijesekera claimed that
shipments of oil expected last week had not materialised and that shipments
expected the next week would similarly fail to reach Sri Lanka for
"banking" reasons.
Wijesekera apologised to
drivers and asked them not to stand in line for long periods of time outside
gas stations. Many people have left their cars in line in the hopes of topping
them off when supplies are replenished.
