INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Petroleum Trade Unions have actually criticized the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) for failing to execute the modification of electrical
power tariffs, which was supposed to occur on October 01, allegedly due to the reckless actions of the CEB.During an interview held in
Colombo yesterday (16 ), the convener of the union, Ananda Palitha, expressed issues over the issue. â $ The Electricity Board has not
yet provided the required information to the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) for the modification of the electrical energy
tariffs
Currently, the CEBâ $ s net profit goes beyond Rs
155 billion
Why is there room for additional exploitation?â $ he questioned.Further, he advised the President to intervene, mentioning, â $ If you are
devoted to the well-being of the people, you should question the CEB on what it has been doing all this time
Immediate action can be required to modify the electrical power bill, potentially decreasing it by a minimum of 45 percent.â $
