Power Minister proposed to have a pre-plan for a power cut to maintain the public mobility to save fuel which is only enough to operate the thermal power plants for the next 10 days. CBSL has released foreign exchange to purchase the fuel from the ship that is reached to country but the next shipment expects to take some time.
