The Chairman of the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation states that, starting tomorrow (19), fuel will be issued according to the last digit of vehicle number plates, on an odd-even number basis.
Accordingly, if the last digit of the number plate is even or zero, fuel can be obtained on even days.
Similarly, for other vehicles, fuel will be issued on odd days, the CPC Chairman further stated.
Meanwhile, the Association of Fuel Station Owners has announced that, starting today (18), fuel will only be issued upon presentation of the QR code.
Chairman Kumar Rajapaksha said that concessions previously granted to issue fuel without the QR code will no longer apply.
He emphasized that even in emergencies, fuel will not be released without the code.
“If there are problems with the QR code, call 1919 and get them resolved before coming to the fuel station. We gave some concessions earlier by issuing fuel without the QR code, but from now on, fuel will only be issued through the QR system,” he said. (Newswire)
