Minister of Transport, Highways, Ports, and Civil Aviation, Vijitha Herath, has called on officials to expedite the integration of vehicle revenue licenses in the Western Province with other provinces. The move aims to address long-standing concerns regarding the lack of coordination, which has posed challenges for vehicle owners.
Key Highlights:
- Ministerial Directive: Minister Vijitha Herath has instructed officials to ensure that the vehicle revenue license system in the Western Province is seamlessly connected with systems in other provinces.
- Obstacles in the Western Province: Vehicle owners in the Western Province—the region with the highest demand—have frequently complained about the difficulties faced when registering vehicles from other provinces. The process is currently time-consuming, costly, and requires significant effort.
- Efforts to Resolve Issues: Despite prior efforts to address these issues, changes have been slow. Minister Herath has now directed the Governor of the Western Province to prioritize and accelerate the integration process.
The move is expected to ease the burden on vehicle owners, improving efficiency and reducing administrative hassles, especially for those managing vehicles registered in other provinces.
