The oil crisis became a problem due to the escalating war situation in the Middle East, leading to a request for the public to avoid unnecessary travel.
Chairman of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation and Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminals Limited, D. J. A. S. de S. Rajakaruna, shared these views.
These remarks came during a press conference regarding fuel supply management and future actions amidst the Middle East conflict.
The Chairman stated that if this situation continues, an unmanageable state will arise. Describing the circumstances as very severe, he further urged everyone to work together until the situation settles.
