Newly-appointed Energy Minister Gamini Lokuge said that once he assumes duties he will hold discussions with relevant stakeholders and take measures to resolve the fuel crisis. 

We need fuel to run the refineries and we need to work on a mechanism to purchase crude oil to meet the necessary requirements. 

He also said that he will not have discussions with the Central Bank as it comes under government supervision.
