Heated exchanges at filling stations as people continue to wait in line

COLOMBO (News 1st); Over the past several months, Sri Lankans have been forced to wait in line for hours, and days, to obtain fuel.

Fuel is considered as one of the most essential tools for many industries in Sri Lanka, espcially farming, as local farmers depend on Diesel to power their machines to reap the harvest.

Heated exchanges were reported from several filling stations across the country.

Therefore, many people were engaging in protests, and sathyagraha campaigns.

Long queues were seen at the Anuradapura filling station for several days to purchase fuel

The News 1st Correspondent said that only one filling station was providing fuel in Anuradapura.
