The Locomotive Engineering Operators’ Union says train operations could be limited owing to the fuel crisis in the country.
Secretary of the Union Indika Dodangoda speaking at a media briefing today said Sri Lanka Railways has sufficient fuel stocks to operate trains for the next three days.
He said several locations have reported of their availability of stocks, adding that the supply of fuel has not stabilised yet.
Dodangoda said Sri Lanka Railways is facing delays in receiving stocks at present with trains able to operate for the next two days while operations will come to a complete halt in three days if the fuel supply is not continued.
Therefore, he said the Sri Lanka Railways General Manager has been informed of the developments, and has been requested to secure sufficient stocks of fuel in order to continue train operations
