Northern govt bus drivers strike in protest of regional mismanagement

 05 January 2019
 Public bus drivers in the North engaged in strike action on Friday in protest of the Sri Lanka central transport board’s failure to address their complaints about mismanagement and corruption in the board’s regional management.
Bus services from all seven bus depots in the Northern Province ground to a halt during the strike.
The bus drivers union in the North said the transport board was to blame for inconvenience caused to the public as the department had failed to address previous protests and complaints.
