The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has approved the request made by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to have rotational power shedding for over five hours on Monday.

The permission was granted due to lack of fuel supply for power generation.

The PUCSL granted permission for a four hour and 40 minute-power cut (2 hours and 40 minutes during 8.30am to 4.30pm hours and 2 hours during 4.30pm to 10.30pm) on Monday for areas of A,B, C and 5 hours and 15 minutes (2 hours and 45 minutes during 8.30am to 4.45pm and 2 hours during 4.45pm to 9.45pm) for areas P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W.(DSB)

Foolish people in Sri Lanka, hope at least now you understand that thieves, murderers have no place in making legislation or administering a country. Corrupt judiciary and law enforcement should be in jail first. All these goons belong in jail. Enjoy the darkness.

Why don't you leave us without power forever? We'll die of heat exhaustion and it will reduce the population. Thanks a lot government. Many thanks indeed.

What is that to approve we have an administration who do not know if they are coming or going. The areas in which these parliamentarians jokers live are exempt from the hardship of the power cut. Road to Adversity.

Bambalapitiya has no power cuts. Is any VIPP living there? Is this one country one law theory? Why this partiality? Are we born to suffer? Shame.

We were happy when the resources that could have been used for development was diverted to keeping our minorities subjugated. Now we are complaining when we are suffering the consequences which is poverty, international opprobrium, food insecurity, beggar status etc

These same guys who were in opposition made a huge racket when the power cuts and oil shortage for 2 to 3 days during the previous regime. Now they have nothing to say the most vocal person was Gamme Ma Piila now the foul mouth guy is dumbfounded.

with all that attack by Russia, Ukraine still has power. But we do not have. Just shows how much these politicians have ruined the country. Now they are hanging on Covid and soon would put it on Ukraine war. Bunch of jokers

Dear Editor REAL DARKNESS - POWER IN US IS TOTALLY CUT ! Don't you think that we Sri Lankans were in darkness at the time of elections? We were spiritually blind and in darkness, not seen the truth and the light for decades. The day that we see the light I am sure we will elect the right people. If not we will be in darkness forever. So we always select and elect the darkness.

It is only the poor and powerless who are affected by yhe various crises.Even power cuts are experienced only by the poor and powerless and it looks as if the Politicians, their Cronies, PUCSL Officials and CEB Engineers are exempted from power cuts ?

President, Prime Minister and everyone should share the electricity shedding as they have been unable to manage an essential service to the consumers
