He said the Government would soon present its position on the fuel issue raised by the Chief Opposition Whip, including concerns about groups allegedly disregarding court orders and causing public inconvenience, and noted that the situation from the previous night had largely eased and was being monitored.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 On VMS and the parts of the previous question I did not cover, the Minister of Fisheries will respond when present.
¶ 02 On the fuel matter, the Chief Opposition Whip also raised it. We will state the Government’s position shortly, including how some groups, by flouting court orders, have acted in ways that burden the public. The issue that arose last night has largely eased by now; we are monitoring and will present the Government’s view.
