Posted by Editor on December 27, 2019 - 11:02 pm
The Motor Traffic Department has decided to introduce and SMS alert system notifying driving license applicants on the time to collect their license cards.
Acting Commissioner General of the Department Upali Jayasekara said that the system would be introduced within two weeks with the assistance of the Department’s IT Division.
This was after President Gotabaya Rajapaksa paid an unannounced inspection visit to the Department yesterday (Dec 26) and urged for a system to minimise delays and benefit the public.
Jayasekara said that some 2000 people visit the Department daily for medical check-ups and to apply for their driving licenses.

That’s the biggest JOKE of the the year,
People in Motor Traffic Department, please get rid of the CORRUPTION in your Department.
Dear Guys, before you enter the Dept premisise, there are 100’s of ‘Brokers’ outside the premises offering to transact with the DEPT in an EXPRESS manner for a fee (I was offerred service to renew a licence for Rs 5,000).
Maybe, some portion of this fees are reaching top people in Govt, I do not know.
The App that you are creating is a load of RUBBISH, my dear Dept of Motor Traffic.
Sinhala Buddhist Govt’s are always corrupt.
