Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has filed a Fundamental Rights petition with the Supreme Court, seeking an order to reduce the current electricity tariffs.

In the petition, Premadasa highlights the burden faced by the public due to the high cost of electricity and urges the court to intervene in the matter.

The move comes amid growing concerns about the economic challenges faced by the people, particularly in light of increased living costs.

The Supreme Court is expected to review the petition and make a determination on the matter.
