Due to the unavailability of diesel, problems have arisen in transporting school children today (15) and tomorrow, said the President of the All Ceylon School Transport Association, Mal Sri de Silva.
Although the government has promised to supply diesel to school vans from SLTB depots, that process is not being carried out properly, he said.
Therefore, difficulties have arisen in transporting school children, said Mal Sri de Silva.
In addition, the owners of school vans have fallen head over heels due to the difficulty of paying the lease installments, he said.
