$ The Electricity Board has not yet provided the required information to the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) for the modification of the electrical energy tariffs.
Currently, the CEB $'s net profit goes beyond Rs.
155 billion.
Why is there room for additional exploitation? $ he questioned.Further, he advised the President to intervene, mentioning, $ If you are devoted to the well-being of the people, you should question the CEB on what it has been doing all this time.
