Protest inconveniences commuters

14 March 2011 04:43 am

The protest started by the private bus workers operating in the Puttlam-Colombo road continues for the third day.  Several incidents have been reported where a group of unidentified persons were pelting stones at the Vavuniya bound buses from Colombo. Under the circumstances, the transport in the area has come to a standstill.

The officials of the Chilaw and Puttalam depots have said that they had deployed more buses to avoid the inconvenience faced by the commuters due to the protest. (Jude Samantha)
