• Cite reduction of commission 

The Petroleum Distributors’ Association staged a silent protest in front of the World Trade Centre in Colombo yesterday (10), based on several demands.  

They called for the uninterrupted supply of fuel to filling stations owned by private companies. They also expressed opposition to the reduction of their commission from 3.6 per cent to 1.5%. 

They further called for the appointment of a competent authority to regulate the fuel pricing formula. The silent protest was organised by members of the Association representing three private companies.
