The Sapugaskanda oil refinery will be closed for 50 days.
The Sapugaskanda refinery has not yet received the crude oil required for the refinery.
The matter has been discussed in Parliament and it is reported that no tender has been called or money has been allocated for the purchase of crude oil so far.
The Sapugaskanda oil refinery was previously closed for a week for maintenance in 2007, but this is the first time it has been closed for such a long time.
