The nationwide strike action that was to be launched by private bus associations against the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ Police traffic operations has been called off.
It is reported that the private bus associations had suspended the planned strike after successful discussions with the Acting IGP Priyantha Weerasooriya today.
Accordingly, the private bus associations have been granted a 03-month grace period to adhere to the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ Police traffic operations.
Private bus associations had resorted to strike action after expressing objections to the ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ Police traffic operations, under which they had been imposed fines and had also been ordered to remove illegal modifications.
Sri Lanka Police had launched the traffic operations under the government’s ‘Clean Sri Lanka’ programme in a bid to minimise road accidents.
