The National Salt Company says that the arrival of a stock of imported salt to Sri Lanka may be delayed by a few more days due to the prevailing adverse weather conditions.
A shipment of salt imported from India, as a solution to the current salt shortage, was scheduled to arrive in Sri Lanka last night (21 May).
A stock of 3,050 metric tons of salt, including 250 metric tons of salt imported from the private sector and 2,800 metric tons of salt imported by the National Salt Company, was to arrive in the country.
The National Salt Company stated that, however, the salt stock may be delayed for a few days due to adverse weather conditions.
Stating that salt will continue to be imported thereafter, the company added that this will alleviate the salt shortage in the market. (Newswire)
