Colombo: Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said yesterday that no country other than India has given us money for fuel. In a speech to parliament, he said that he had asked IMF President Kristalina Georgieva to send a team to Colombo immediately. So that the agreement reached at the employee level can be finalized.

The island nation of Sri Lanka has asked the IMF for 3 billion to help it survive for the next six months.

Speaking on the strike by the engineers of the state-owned Ceylon Electricity Board, Vikram Singh said, "Please don't cause a blackout. If you continue to do so, then don't ask me to get help from India." No country pays for fuel and coal. India offers. Our line of credit with India has also come to an end. We are in talks to extend that credit line.

According to a media report, the Prime Minister also said that India cannot continue to help. Some people in India are asking why China is helping him. Instead of helping him, China says help him first.

A union in Sri Lanka's electricity sector said on Wednesday that it was going to go on an indefinite strike in protest of the electricity law. If that happens then the whole country will be in darkness.
