The number of complaints received about the malpractices that are taking place at the petrol sheds is steadily increasing by the day, the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) said.
Its Chairman Janaka Rathnayake said nearly 200 complaints related to these irregularities were received by the department.
In order to ensure that the fuel quality is properly maintained, 20 fuel samples have been collected from filling stations around the country and handed over to the Industrial Technology Institute (ITI) for testing.
He said fuel sample testing has been started at 60 filling stations.
“During the inspections conducted across the country, it was revealed that several filling stations were hiding fuel and several filling stations have been accused of dispensing less fuel,” the PUCSL Chairman said.
