‘The police requested the public not to get involved in activities likely to sabotage the fuel transportation system in the country as it would in turn affect the supply chain, senior police spokesperson and SDIG Ajith Rohana said.


He told the media that certain incidents which were reported yesterday were likely to obstruct the passage of  fuel carrying bowsers, and that some bowsers had been  damaged and vandalised.  


It was reported that some bowsers were held captive by certain elements, he said.  


However, the respective authorities have informed us that fuel transportation will be done as usual from today, the senior DIG said.  


Therefore, the police requested the public not to get involved in such activities and said the free movement of fuel bowsers should be allowed to ensure a smooth run of the supply chain across the country, the spokesman said.
