Three-wheelers to be regulated

The Government yesterday via the 2022 Budget announced plans to regulate the three-wheeler community.

Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa said although the three-wheeler service was vastly spread around the country, contributing immensely to the service sector, in particular, as of now there was no mechanism to regulate the three-wheeler service.

“The need for regulating the service has arisen due to its massive expansion related issues. To that effect, I propose to establish a Three-wheeler Regulatory Authority and to make decisions including the three-wheeler charges and service standardisation through the authority,” Basil told the Parliament in presenting Budget 2022.
