Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara said fuel supply had become extremely challenging since the release of sufficient foreign exchange by the Central Bank had been limited .

He said the credit lines of US $ 700 million had been exhausted , discussions were underway to secure another US$ 550 million from India .

Also , the Minister alternate arrangements had been worked out to secure fresh supplies of fuel in the future .

Minister Wijesekara also said some buses operate on kerosene instead of diesel and therefore the release of kerosene will also be rationalized (Kelum Bandara)

Your father did the same by misleading the youth in 70s by killing many. As a result, now you are a minister and he was a minister. You will get a return soon.
