The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has declined to approve the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) demand management program as it violates and affects the Advanced Level (A/L) Examination.

PUCSL Chairman Janaka Rathnayake said the CEB's demand management program is directly helping to violate the rights of 331,000 students sitting for the exam.

This response was issued soon after the CEB's announcement.

As a result, the CEB announced yesterday that they will continue the demand management program during the A/L Exam.

It was also mentioned that the CEB had informed the PUCSL about this yesterday. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

    PUCSL may decline to approve power cuts proposed by the CEB, but , the CEB cares twohoots and continues with their planned power cuts. The CEB Chairman has said " whatever anyone may say, I have to run this Institution "

    PUCSL is talking only. Why can't PUCSL provide Naphtha and fuel oil to CEB to run the generators?

    GOOD on YOU Janaka! You have guts. Show these puerile simplistic excuse for Minister what a nincompoop he has shown himself to be by jeopardising this vital examination for children by approving power cuts during this examination. MM
