A news item today shows the extent of disrespect to law and order my the citizens in the country
This is the best time to suppress such upper hand manipulations which may be done political backing
Three-wheelers who have been a menace to the public and motorists should be deprived of their license if they violate rules
With the deployment of many other transport services such as Uber, pick me, Yugo, etc, the cost of transport has gone down substantially
Let people select such transport mode and stop using three-wheelers
Presidential candidates may invite the Union of Three-wheelers mainly consisting from Colombo voters may be coerced to continue the strike so that they can invite the union to sumptuous dinner in either Temple trees or any other Temple patronized by the candidates and promise them that they will
Allow them to drive without meters
The union may resort to drastic action such as blocking roads and inconvenience people like the way doctors do by going on strikes
I sometimes wonder whether the mentality of doctors and three-wheeler drivers are the same
