Sri Lanka’s economy has collapsed and the country has almost run out of fuel.
From tomorrow 3 hour per day rolling power blackouts are being imposed.
Unless broadcasters are exempt or have their own back up diesel generators there may be temporary radio silence.
The power cuts don’t seem to warrant a mention on the SLBC website!
