13 Aug 2012 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

CEB said it will continue the day-time power cuts until Wednesday and meanwhile decide on whether or not to extend the power cut period further.
It said power cuts would not be imposed after 6 pm because the CEB did not wish to burden the students studying for their GCE A/L exams.

The CEB said the Norochcholai Power Plant was still not operational and that it would take two more weeks for the repair work to be completed and added that it had expressed its grave concern to the Chinese supplier regarding the regular breakdowns.

Meanwhile CEB workers are continuing their strike action and they say they will do so till their demands are met.

The CEB said about 5,000 temporary workers would be recruited to attend to the work earlier done by the strikers. (Sandun A. Jayasekara & Nishan Casseem)
