    A power failure occurred in most parts of the country a short while ago and steps have been taken to restore electricity in those areas, CEB Main Control Room told Daily Mirror online

    The reason for the sudden power failure is under investigation. The CEB MCR added. (GS)

    A major blackout in many parts of the country occurred today due to the tripping of Kotmale and Biyagama transmission line. The grid was tripped due to lighting which created instability in the grid, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) Chairman Vidya Amarapala told Daily Mirror online

    The Chairman added that the power had to be restored section by section and that the CEB was energizing these sections currently.

    No permanent damage to the system was likely as the power was now being restored, Chairman Amarapala said. (Daily Mirror online)
