The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has informed in writing to the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) today, not to impose any power cuts until February 16, PUCSL Chairman Janaka Rathnayake said.

He said the decision was made to facilitate students sitting for AL examinations.

"When the matter came up yesterday (2) at the President’s Counsel the CEB and CPC wanted time to obtain instructions from their clients. As Court was keen to take up the matter due to its National importance, President’s Counsel for the CEB provided an undertaking to provide uninterrupted power until the matter is supported," the Chairman said.

The matter was supported today (3) and is to be resumed on Tuesday (7).

However, President’s Counsel for the CEB withdrew and/or refused to extend the undertaking to provide uninterrupted power, he said. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

Wanting for printing money to provide free electrcity to religious groups Sunday, 05 February 2023 11:22 AM

Thug PUCSL trying to get something for nothing - the typical money printing attitude Supreme court laughed off the attempt by PUCSL chairman friend the corrupt rights commission to block electricity cuts until hearing restarts. All of this stinks of political attack on government, but really only harming CEB to have more losses. Maybe PUCSL believes printing money unlimited can get Religious places free electricity, so the PUCSL chairman personal benefactor the Thero groups are pushing him for that kind of economic attraocity.
