The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Ravi Karunanayake urged that Sri Lanka Customs be made operational 24 hours a day for clearances, warning that delays could cause the problem to recur. He called for legislation to ensure 24/7 customs clearance in line with practices in other countries in the region.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 One thing you can do is ensure that the Sri Lanka Customs is made to work 24 hours, making clearances so that there would not be a problem at all. Otherwise, this problem would be re-ignited. So, ensure that you bring in legislation to make sure that clearances are done 24/7, like in other countries in the region.
