Prices of petrol and diesel will increase from midnight (2nd) according to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation. A liter of 90 Octane Petrol will be increased by Rs.10 while a liter of Auto Diesel will be increased by Rs.3, a CPC official said.

The price of a litre of Kerosene will be increased by Rs. 10. The new price of 90 Octane Petrol is Rs. 125, Rs. 76 for Auto Diesel and Kerosene Rs. 61.

A global price hike was expected with the raising unrest in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) in the first few months of this year. (Daily Mirror online)

A typical pin head. There are many such "so called patriots" in Australia.

Aussi Saturday, 02 April 2011 08:06 AM

Yes in Aussi you are paid about 300,000 Sk Ruppes per month where as in Sri Lanka they are paid about Rs 15,000 - 20,000 per month.

Donot compare like you fool Mala. Give weight and then compare..

Great timing...How long are the people going to be played fools...!

Sorry folks! the minister is gone on an important state visit to represent SL in the world cup.

kaputakukula Saturday, 02 April 2011 06:09 AM

Mala Sirimanna Saturday, 02 April 2011 06:07 AM

Barrel of oil today costs US$108. In Australia we pay AUD$1.50 a leter! This has nothing to do with the Cricket idoits....!!!!

robinson Saturday, 02 April 2011 05:34 AM

Yes, poor people they should enjoy, but they don' t have money. So lets pay them. hahaha

robinson Saturday, 02 April 2011 05:33 AM

Where is the person who said, if we are increasing prices accoriding to the world price, why we should have a government. These are the jokers who are holding key positions in the government.

MTM Saturday, 02 April 2011 05:28 AM

may be it was decided before election

Arsh Saturday, 02 April 2011 04:59 AM

Before the freaking election the prices were going down and then again it has come back to it's normal routine, (RISING!!!).

It's really disappoining and disgusting.

Nihal Saturday, 02 April 2011 04:52 AM

Where is the Minister. He assured several time fuel prices would not be increased many time in the media

TY Saturday, 02 April 2011 04:37 AM

Good for the politicians, now we need a Libyan style demonstration to shke the unwanted out. The cabinet is double jumbo size

Hash Friday, 01 April 2011 05:00 PM

This is the biggest insult one can do to our cricket team.
