 (Lanka-e-News, October 30, 2008, 9.10 AM)The workers of the Kolonnawa Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) oil storage walked away for three hours yesterday in protest of the attack on the CPC officer-in-charge of the security of the facility by the Army officer of the detachment providing guard.
A trade union leader stated that the Army officer and his driver threatened to kill the officer ordering him to put off the lights of the facility.
The protest was suspended after the Brigadier who was in charge of security of the place agreed in a discussion with the trade unions to transfer the Army officers from duty of the station and to conduct a disciplinary inquiry against them.

Trade unions as well as Lanka-e-News have pointed out the risk related to keeping all lights on throughout night as the Chairman was supplying fuel in bowsers to the shipping companies and the electric generating companies that have links with him. The earlier practice of the premises was to put off all unnecessary lights of the premises in the night.
The trade unions said that fuelling of Ace Power ship was being carried out Tuesday night as well and putting lights off was difficult therefore.

The usual practice of the CPC is to stop issuing fuel for transportation. But it was carried out all throughout night in accordance of the direction of the CPC Chairman.
The trade union leader further said that despite lights were put off tuesday (28), the Chairman has directed to carry on issuing fuel tonight (29) as well.
