Deputy Minister of Digital Economy Eranga Weeraratne says solutions have now been implemented to address technical issues that arose with the QR code system reintroduced for fuel distribution across the island.
He explained that previous problems related to vehicle ownership transfers and mobile phone numbers have now been resolved.
The system for removing vehicles has also been streamlined, enabling previous owners to efficiently remove vehicles from their accounts.
According to the Deputy Minister, once a vehicle is removed from a previous owner’s account, it can be registered by the new owner without complications.
He added that training programs for fuel station owners and staff are currently being conducted to ensure the smooth operation of the QR code system.
Weeraratne also urged the public not to spread unnecessary panic about fuel shortages or misinformation regarding the system.
He called on citizens to cooperate fully with the government’s structured fuel management process.
