Sri Lankan union leader alleges CEB manipulates data to avoid cutting electricity rates further.

A Sri Lankan trade union leader accuses the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) of giving false data to delay a potential 35% reduction in electricity rates. The Public Utilities Commission (PUC) previously reduced rates by 21.9% in March and 22.5% in July 2024. The activist claims the CEB aims to minimize rate cuts and criticizes the government for allowing high diesel prices that add to consumer costs.
