New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said India is sending additional fuel supply to Sri Lanka, which is facing a shortage of petroleum.
"In the telephone conversation with Sri Lankan President @MaithripalaS, PM @narendramodi conveyed that India is sending additional fuel to Sri Lanka and assured India's continued support for development cooperation," the Prime Minister's Office tweeted.
The Lanka Indian Oil Company (LIOC) has received flak for the fuel shortage after motorists lined up in long queues at petrol stations.
Also, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has refused to blame the Indian Oil Company's subsidiary for the ongoing fuel shortage.
"We must remember that LIOC outlets helped people during the last petroleum strike," he stressed.
