Information on the electricity supply and power outages between 1990 and the present [LKA12502]

It would appear from the attached articles that the supply of electricity to the Jaffna has been sporadic over the past few years. A report from October 1990 states that "there has been no electricity in Jaffna for the past three months" (Reuters 14 Oct. 1990). The condition persisted, according to a February 1991 report which states that Jaffna had been without "electricity or adequate food and food supplies for the last six months" (The Guardian 7 Feb. 1991). In June 1992, The Economist reported that Jaffna "carries on as normal: without electricity ..." (6 June 1992, 80).
The DIRB in Ottawa has no further information on this subject at the present time.
