The Colombo-Negombo main road has been blocked at the Galkanda junction due to a protest carried out by the three-wheeler operators against the increase of minimum penalty.

Heavy traffic congestion is reported on the Colombo-Negombo main road and the train service on the Puttalam Railway line also reportedly disrupted due to the protest. (Hubert Fernando)
