JAFFNA -Taxi meters are to be made compulsory for three wheelers and car taxis in Jaffna from January 1, Jaffna Divisional Secretary N. Vethanayagan has ordered.
Legal action will be taken against the three wheelers and car taxis running without meters, he has said.

Charges have also been fixed after a discussion with the three wheeler association. Minimum charge for three wheelers is Rs. 70.00 per km while it is higher for car taxis.

Several residents have complained against three wheeler taxis saying their charges are higher than Colombo rates where three wheelers charge Rs. 50 to Rs. 60 per km.
