Bus transportation will have to be limited given the situation in the country but it will not grind to halt, Minister of Transport Dilum Amunugama told Parliament today.

Responding to a question raised by MP Hesha Withanage, the Minister said.

The Minister assured that there is no move to stop transportation during the schools opening and closing times and during the offices opening and closing times.

Also he said a decision has been made to share fuel with the private buses only when SLTB deports have excess fuel.

MP Withnage said a situation has arisen where even opposition MPs are being booed by the people who are standing in fuel queues.“

It has become difficult for the MPs to obtain fuel for their vehicles. Even we are encountered with possible danger given the present situation,” he said. (Yohan Perera)

Means, we are heading towards a total collapse. A high price for the 'Boru Show' all these years with borrowed money.

Please tell your subordinate minister to be careful of how they give voice cuts to media. They put their own lives in danger as the public are fed up listening to their garbage talks.

Everything will slow down or grind to a halt, but Ali Baba and his thieves robbing will not stop.

All you need to run a country is honesty, integrity,strict financial control,non politicized judiciary and intelligence and application. Do we have a single politician to cast our vote in the next election.It is not rocket science

I hope the police have enough fuel otherwise law and order can breakdown and there can be riots for food and criminal gangs will take advantage of the situation like in 1983.

Some have forgotten how they believed in MY3 and voted for Hansaya hoping for a better future. The very same people started to criticize, ridicule and insult MY3 until he leaves the office. Same thing is happening to Gota. Looks like no one can rule this country.
