The Northern Provincial Council has adopted a motion prohibiting bottled toddy produced in the south from being transported and sold within the Northern Province.

The motion presented by Agriculture Minister of the Province P. Ainkaranesan has been unanimously passed at the last council meeting of the year held last week.

While presenting the motion Ainkaranesan said that the toddy brought from the southern parts of the country has been a threat to the toddy industry in his province.

He also alleged that those who had consumed the toddy brought from the south had developed allergic conditions due to various chemicals contained in it.

The Northern Provincial Council is to inform the motion adopted in the council to the Excise Department and to make a request to stop transporting bottled toddy from south to the north.(Romesh Madushanka)

Better to stop all the imports from North until a sensible PC takes over.

next is liquor from south.

May be a good move. But this should apply to many products coming from the North to the South as well.

Next, they will pass a motion to limit people from the South travelling to the North. Imagine all the other provinces too limit access to the free flow of goods across their borders. Hence the need for a strong national policy and central authority to decide on whats best for the entire country.

Does these types of provincial resolutions have legal validity? I think these guys are hell bent on provoking the south. If southern today is bad get your people not to consume it. It may be that the nothern people prefer southern toddy. What next. Visas to travel to the north?
