COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lankans can be seen waiting in long queues for fuel, leading to the nearest Lanka IOC filling station, as the country struggles to contain a deepening economic crisis.

Many tense situations have taken a place in several filling stations due to the lack of fuel.

As a result, on Wednesday (6) a man from Digana climbed onto a post attached to high-voltage electricity cables to protest.

Later, this man was rescued by personnel attached to the Ceylon Electricity Board and was rushed to the Theldeniya Hospital for treatment.
