Sri Lanka’s state-run Ceylon Petroleum Corporation has assured the public that adequate fuel stock is available to meet demand until the end of next month. Speaking to the media, Chairman of CPC, D. J. Rajakaruna, said previously ordered fuel shipments continue to arrive on schedule, ensuring steady supplies despite heightened public concern linked to the Middle East conflict. He noted that daily fuel consumption has surged by about 21% compared with normal levels, driven largely by panic buying, hoarding, and illegal trading activities. Panic buying has been noted in various parts of the island, as long queues are seen at the petrol filling stations. Earlier yesterday, the government decided to reintroduce the QR code-based fuel quota system to stabilise demand and discourage unnecessary usage.
