Several roads in Colombo, its suburbs and other parts of the country have been blocked by devastated consumers who are demanding for fuel and gas.
Several fuel stations in the country were seen deserted today due to the lack of fuel. However, the queues were seen getting longer as people demanded for fuel.
Consumers expecting petrol and diesel, had claimed they were queuing up near filling stations for a few days but had not been able to fill the tanks.
Meanwhile, a person who was waiting in line at a petrol station in the Wekada area in Panadura died due to a sudden illness.
Police said tense situations were also reported at some fuel stations due to lack of fuel.
In a similar incident, the security forces attached to a filling station in Panadura had chased a group of men who were trying to forcibly get fuel in a can. It was reported that a group of men tried to obstruct the duties of soldiers at the filling station.
In another incident, a group of men demanding fuel had also blocked the High Level Road from Delkanda this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the final shipment of 40,000 metric tonnes of diesel under the current Indian credit line arrived at the Colombo Port today.
People were also waiting in queues in Colombo and other parts of the country to get gas.
In another tragedy, a man transporting a gas cylinder using a wheelbarrow had died due to a sudden illness in the Pugoda area.

Gota and Ranil without playing games among you with give and take policies, look into the plight on Fuel island wide and do something soon, if not... expect Fire from the boys and girls tolerating all these days.

Why did the government announced about price change to take place from 24th June 2022, all this chaotic situation is because of this announcement.
Sokrates Thursday, 16 June 2022 04:43 PM

Lazy Sena and Ranil should come up with a temporary plan before things get out of control. These two does not have any idea. At least make study from home for students temporary until further notice. Then identify joba that can be done at home. Then initiate work from home for those jobs temporary. You cannot run a country like this without doing anything. If you two cannot do anything please kindly go home.

President must have lost his eyesight and he cannot see these sufferings of the people for the past few months. He is an army man and he has no sympathy over the people's sufferings. He has that mindset. Hence we cannot expect him to do anything to elevate us from this crisis. We will be punished by God even if we go behind his shadow . So we gir to pay price for electing him as our President.

We are coming to a total standstill in a few days. That's for sure. We must thank our politicians for the corruption and mismanagement they have done to bring us to starvation.

Economic difficulty is no excuse for lawlessness. While striving to solve the problems the country is facing, the government should deal firmly with lawless elements who block roads and create problems for the public.
