Islandwide one-hour power cuts are scheduled to be imposed today (Oct. 20) as well.
The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has approved the power cuts following a request by the National System Operator (NSO).
Accordingly, the country has been divided into 04 groups, with each group scheduled to experience a one-hour power interruption between 4.30 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. today.
However, power cuts will not be imposed in areas surrounding hospitals and facilities providing essential services, it has been announced.
