Several roads leading to Colombo City and within the city were seen less traffic this morning. Many believed it was due to the fear of fuel shortages due to the Trade Union action by the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC). Fuel distribution was not carried out properly yesterday due to the TU action. Pix by Kithsiri de Mel

This is the consequence of too much of FREEDOM at the expense of country's economy. Who would tolerate this trade union action? There was a time where political powers were behind the trade union actions. Pass a stringent LAW to curtail their action; otherwise it will cripple the economy.
