• Sri Lanka rolled out a QR code-based fuel rationing system on Sunday due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
• Cars are limited to 15 litres per week, while buses are allowed 60 litres per week, as per the Ministry of Energy.
• The measure aims to curb hoarding by consumers despite the continuous availability of enough fuel for 4 months.
• The government hopes to secure fuel supplies from India and Russia; long queues were reported due to QR code operation problems.
• The West Asia conflict, starting February 28, involves US-Israel attacks on Iran and Iranian retaliation, impacting global oil supply chains.
