Three-wheel taxi operators protest against US travel warning
Three-wheel taxi drivers yesterday protested against a U.S. travel warning for tourists using three-wheelers in Colombo.
Representatives of three-wheel taxi associations protested outside the U.S. embassy in Colombo and submitted a petition calling for the withdrawal of the travel warning, the Xinhua news agency reported.
The U.S. embassy in Colombo last week said it has been made aware of an increase in incidents involving three-wheel drivers in the Colombo area inappropriately touching female passengers.
The U.S. embassy, in a statement, reminded all U.S. citizens to maintain situational awareness when in public and at home to avoid being a victim of crime.
The representatives claimed if the travel warning is not withdrawn, they would stage a larger protest outside the U.S. embassy in Colombo.
