COLOMBO (News 1st); A group of small power plant employees engaged in a protest today (24) in front of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) head office against the non-payment of dues by the CEB to small power plants.

They alleged that their salaries have been slashed since June last year due to the non-receipt of dues to small power plants.
