Basil urges LG heads to turn off street lights to save power

07 Mar 2022

Minister of Finance Basil Rajapaksa has requested all Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP)-affiliated heads of local government (LG) bodies to turn off the street lights of their respective areas until 31 March, as a measure to conserve electricity. Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam said that the Finance Minister has informed all the SLPP heads of LG institutions, group leaders, and Opposition leaders of this matter via a letter. The letter states that due to the prevailing challenging situation with regard to the existing power crisis due to the drop in hydro power generation, rising fuel prices, and the dollar shortage, one of the main alternatives to manage this situation is to use electricity sparingly on a priority basis.  To help bring that example to the society, they are requested to switch off the street lights in their respective areas from today until 31 March to conserve electricity. In addition to this, they are also requested to implement any other alternatives to conserve electricity, if available, with minimum impact on the day-to-day life of the general public.
