Oil distributors protest in Colombo

The Petroleum Distributors' Association engaged in a silent protest in front of the World Trade Center in Colombo this morning (10), based on several key demands. A group of members of the association, representing fuel distributors belonging to three private companies, participated in this event.

One of their main problems is the reduction of the commission previously given to distributors. They strongly protested the step taken to reduce their commission from 3.6% to 1.5%.

In addition, the distributors who joined the protest also demanded that continuous fuel supply to private filling stations be ensured without any hindrance.

Meanwhile, through this silent protest, they further emphasized the need to appoint a suitable authority to properly regulate the operational fuel price formula.
