Cabinet approval was granted to purchase 2,000 three-wheelers as a prompt solution for the Sri Lanka Police Division, after a proposal tabled by the Public Security Minister.

The decision was announced at the weekly cabinet briefing at the Information Department today.

The decision to purchase these vehicles was taken considering the police department being the main institute responsible for law enforcement and endeavour to maintain peace throughout the country.

The Minister said due to inadequate number of vehicles in the police department, they are finding it hard to perform their accredited duties.

Why buy these killer vehicles for the police?

Let us see how the Police drive these vehicles to find out whether it's the machine or the man behind it is the reason for the chaos they create on the roads.

Should buy from registered Three-wheeler stocks without buying new ones. That will lesser the traffic in roads. Otherwise it will create more traffic in roads.

The Seniors can get the Constables to do their marketing using the 3 wheelers!

Better solution would be pedal bicycles or tricycles. Environmentaly friendly, gives our policemen and women some exercise. The police women have to wear trousers......
