Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) has instructed the removal of trees near depots and bus stops that pose a potential falling hazard.
The decision was made in light of a recent event where a tree fell onto a bus in Colpetty, SLTB Chairman Lalith de Alwis said.
All depots have been directed not to operate buses in flood-prone areas unless they adhere to guidelines provided by the Sri Lanka Police and Disaster Management Units, he added.
