The Ceylon Electricity Board has requested consumers to use electricity sparingly due to a drop in the generation of  hydro electric power.

Newsfirst made an inquiry from Media Spokesperson and Deputy General Manager of the CEB, Senajith Dassanayake in this regard. He stated that there is no fear of power cuts being implemented as the supply generation situation is in a satisfactory state.

Senajith Dassanayake further explains:
