COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lankans are preparing to celebrate the new year today, however, many are forced to wait in line for fuel at almost every filling station in the country.

There is no solution provided to address the shortage of fuel, and as a result, there are long queues at many filling stations.

Many filling stations had NOT received fuel for several days.

A heater situation took place in Hambantota on Tuesday (12) night due to the non-supply of fuel.

People staged a protest blocking the Hambantota-Kataragama main road since the workers in filling stations were NOT supplying Diesel for the people.

The News 1st Correspondent said that people were protesting for 4-hours demanding Diesel.
