The people in Jaffna have reverted to the use of traditional horse carriages and buggy carts in place of motor vehicles for want of fuel.

They said the traditional methods of transport had been expelled from use with motor vehicles taking its place but the need of them is now being felt due to the prolonged fuel crisis.

Several well organized horse carriage services are now operating in the Jaffna district. (Romesh Madusanka)

    This is really beautiful, and I am very impressed with these people who live in North, as they do not show-off, and respect old things (you may still see time to time 1 Shi, 2 Shi cars in norths).

    People from the rest of the country can learn a lot, from the people of the North. They're hard working, and can do a lot for the country.

    World will have to adopt eco friendly transport to combat climate change

    This practice will be implemented in Colombo also soon and Mahinda's roads made out of commissions will go for a six, what a waste and a damage.

    Now we will have to prepare 225 Bullock Carts for for our prestigious members in the Parliament.

    Roxton Schockman Tuesday, 28 June 2022 07:53 AM

    First of all we want to see our King Gota comes in a colonial Bukkie Cart and address the public.

    Very smart people there. Better than ugly bullock carts.

    Premalal Perera Tuesday, 28 June 2022 08:48 AM

    I am sure that they will soon get Devananda to draw the cart.

    Kamal Bolawansa Tuesday, 28 June 2022 09:03 AM

    Devolve powers to the north, like in UK- Scotland, wales have their own assembles. People of the North will do a great job.
