The Hon. K. Kader Masthan
Hon. K. Kader Masthan said transport issues affecting schoolchildren had been discussed at DCC meetings and with the relevant chairman, with information already forwarded to ministries for action. He requested recruitment of drivers and conductors for the Vavuniya and Mullaitivu SLTB depots, noting specific shortages, and called for mechanics to be recruited after nearly 20 years to repair unusable buses and restore services.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. We have discussed these in DCC meetings and with the Chairman. Information has been forwarded to relevant ministries with decisions to proceed.
¶ 02 Regarding transport, there are many problems affecting schoolchildren. In Vavuniya SLTB Depot, 10 drivers are needed; Mullaitivu Depot also needs 10. Vavuniya Depot needs 5 conductors; Mullaitivu Depot needs conductors too. For nearly 20 years, no mechanics have been recruited; as a result, many buses are parked unusable. Please arrange repairs and necessary recruitments.
