Sri Lankan authorities seal state-run coal procurement firm’s headquarters amid alleged irregularities

Sri Lankan authorities sealed the state-owned Lanka Coal Company’s headquarters in Colombo amid accusations of supplying low-grade coal, causing massive losses to the island nation, officials said.

The Crime Investigation Department (CID) sealed the office on Saturday (April 11, 2026) following a complaint filed by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s Secretary, demanding a probe into all coal imports for power generation since 2009.
