Another island wide total blackout
At 2.40 in the afternoon today a total break down in electricity power was reported island wide.
When inquiries were made from the authorities of the Ceylon electricity board the reason for this total failure had been attributed to a breakdown in the Laxapana power plant.
A few weeks ago a similar total blackout was reported and an investigation was carried out to ascertain whether it was a sabotage as it was suspected to be.
