The Hon. Ramalingam Chandrasekar stated that the fuel subsidy has been discontinued, but other assistance schemes remain in place.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Member, the fuel subsidy has now been discontinued. However, the assistance schemes we previously provided are continuing. We have received many complaints from those who did not receive them. Due to the failure to correctly provide information such as bank account numbers and addresses, many did not receive the fuel subsidy we provided earlier. If they resubmit those details accurately to our officials, we are ready to extend those assistance schemes to them.
