The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Mujibur Rahuman raised concerns about delays in issuing driving licence cards and vehicle number plates, noting that applicants since 2023 still rely on temporary paper licences and that many vehicles reportedly lack plates despite fees of around Rs. 5,000 being charged. He asked the relevant Minister how long it would take to resolve these administrative backlogs.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary relates to the Minister’s subject. For nearly two years, driving licences have not been issued in card form; even those who applied in 2023 are still driving with the temporary paper. Similarly, number plates are not being issued, while fees around Rs. 5,000 are charged; nearly 200,000 vehicles lack number plates. How long to resolve this?
