Minister of Power Pavithra Wanniarachchi has instructed officials to establish an operations unit to provide an uninterrupted power supply to essential locations.
The directives were issued at a special discussion held at the Ministry of Power today with the participation of a number of institutions on measures that can be taken to provide an uninterrupted power supply.
The Minister said despite the challenges in ensuring a continuous power supply owing to the prevailing dry weather conditions, the Minister instructed that immediate action be taken to supply electricity to essential locations such as hospitals, investment promotion zones, and other key locations.
