(UTV | COLOMBO) – A grace period has been granted to essential services-providing public institutions to settle unpaid electricity bills, State Minister of Power & Energy Indika Anurudda says.
His remarks came after the electricity supply was interrupted for the hospital’s canteen and security services on October 26 over unsettled bills.
Reportedly, the hospital owes approximately Rs. 30 million in electricity bill arrears to the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).
However, the power supply was restored soon after Rs. 8 million was paid to the CEB for unsettled bills,
