The Sri Lankan government has announced a relief plan for electricity users who consume less than 90 units. This initiative is part of a new economic relief package aimed at helping those impacted by the crisis in the Middle East. The rise in fuel prices and ongoing dry weather, which has increased reliance on thermal power plants for electricity, have prompted this decision. To support this effort, the government will cover the extra costs for the next three months, allocating Rs. 15 billion for this assistance.
