The Private Bus Trade Union Alliance, a collective body representing more than eighty trade unions including school van drivers unions, three wheeler drivers associations and heavy vehicle operators announced an indefinite strike from midnight today.
Addressing to the media today, Stanely Fernanado, President of the alliance alleged that the government took some arbitrary decisions recently on imposing huge traffic fines without consulting them or other stakeholders.
“We are opposed to the recent proposed increase of traffic fines on seven offenses to minimum of Rs 25,000 as we can’t bear these heavy penalties,” Mr Fernando said.
