Chairman of the Ceylon Electricity Board, Anura Wijayapala was resigned. Wijayapala tendered his resignation to Power and Energy Minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya yesterday (26). The reason behind the resignation of former Chairman Wijayapala is said to be his reluctance to be flexible in implementing the decisions and policies of the Ministry when dealing with problems between CEB directors and the unions.
In the meantime, Minister of Power and Renewable Energy Ranjith Siyambalapitiya has appointed W.B. Ganegala as the Acting Chairman of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).
