Buses plying the Galle road have stopped work and are currently on
strike, the Private Bus Owners Association said today. Association
President Gemunu Wijeyratne said that all buses starting from Panadura,
Moratuwa, Kalutara, Aluthgama and buses on the Mathugama-Colombo route
have all stopped work.
“At this time it is difficult to say when the strike will stop and may
continue tomorrow. We suspect that the strike will continue tomorrow as
well,” Wijeyratne said.
A private bus allegedly knocked against a SLTB bus operating from the
Ratmalana depot damaging the side mirror of the SLTB bus which led to
the assault of the private bus driver and union workers say they refuse
to stop the strike.
The private bus worker is being treated at the Panadura hospital
