The Deputy Minister said SLTB drivers and conductors had been assigned to various non-related duties due to political interference.

He said, as such, the SLTB has decided to reassign drivers and conductors who were previously engaged in various other duties.

Deputy Minister of Transport, Prasanna Kumara Gunasena announced that this decision comes into effect today.

Stating that the drivers will undergo the relevant medical examinations to ensure their fitness, he said they will be reassigned to their driving duties based on their results. (Newswire)
