The cabinet of ministers today decided to issue fuel only for essential services from mid night today(27) until July 10, Cabinet spokesman Minister Bandula Gunawardane said.

The minister also said that the government is planning to request all public and private sector institutions to apply for work from home facilities till July 10 because of the ongoing fuel crisis.

Both public and private sectors should apply this strategy as fuel will be supplied to only to essential services, such as health sector, transportation of food and agricultural sector and hospitals, Minister Gunawawardene said.

Also, it was announced that zonal education authorities have been given the right to decide on functioning of schools. (Yohan Perera)

    Hope this rule applies to all politicians too. Politicians wife's going shopping is not essential service

    This is not a solution to the fuel crisis. Soon the remaining stock of fuel will run out. Essential services will die too.

    The whole set of corrupt politicians should be wiped out. Give people some space to breathe.

    So what is the point of these tokens offered to those in queues? Agree with Jef, the whole parliament should take public transport until this crisis is solved. Is that too much to ask or too much to risk?

    We thought our actions were only to subjugate our minorities, in reality we were destroying the whole country and now paying the consequences

    If you cannot provide the essentials please leave and handover the reigns to a team that can deliver
