PRESIDENT Anura Kumara Dissanayake has directed all Ministries to implement practical, data-driven fuel conservation plans and submit reports at ministerial level without delay, as the Government moves to manage supply constraints and maintain economic activity.

The instruction was issued at a meeting held yesterday at the Presidential Secretariat with a committee appointed to oversee the distribution of essential goods, the President’s Media Division said.

The President stressed that fuel management must be approached as a structured and sustainable process aimed at minimising energy consumption while ensuring uninterrupted services.

The committee, established following a prior discussion with Ministers and Ministry Secretaries, has been tasked with ensuring the continuity of both State and private sector supply chains and the availability of essential goods at stable prices.
