January 27, Colombo (LNW): Law enforcement authorities have rolled out countrywide inspections aimed at identifying vehicles that do not meet basic roadworthiness standards, police said.
Deputy Inspector General of Police overseeing Traffic and Road Safety, W.P.J. Senadheera, explained that the initiative is being conducted jointly with officials from the Department of Motor Traffic.
The inspections will focus on vehicles that pose safety risks due to mechanical faults, poor maintenance or failure to comply with registration and safety requirements.
Authorities say the operation is part of a broader effort to reduce accidents and improve overall road discipline, warning that vehicles found to be unfit for use will face legal action in accordance with existing traffic laws.
