A four-hour power cut if do not get a large loan

Energy Minister Udaya Gammanpila says, given the ongoing efforts to provide an uninterrupted supply of electricity 24-hours a day, nearly four-hour daily power cuts will have to be imposed by March if Sri Lanka does not manage to take out a large loan of US dollars.

 

If the public is told that there are enough US dollars in the country and that there is no pressing issue for the government, they would not be propelled to use electricity sparingly, he added.
