The United National Party (UNP) said the crisis facing the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) with the Refinery closure and the furnace oil shortage was a Government conspiracy to handover the filling stations in the Northern and Eastern Provinces to the Lanka India Oil Company (LIOC) and to increase fuel prices.
UNP Spokesman Gayantha Karunatilleke told a media briefing today that President Mahinda Rajapaksa should intervene and resolve this crisis.
He said the present crisis where the Sapugaskanda Refinery remained closed for 17 days and the CPC left without a drop of furnace oil resulting from the breakdown of the pipelines attached to the buoy supplying oil from the ships would have serious consequences. (Yohan Perera and Sanath Desmond)
