In line with the Clean Sri Lanka project, the Sri Lanka Police has launched two traffic initiatives aimed at reducing accidents and easing congestion.
The first initiative targets vehicles equipped with altered ringtones, flashing lights of various colors, illegal modifications, loud horns, noisy silencers and additional parts that increase accident risk.
The second initiative involves deploying plainclothes officers to identify traffic violations by public transport bus drivers and enforce the law accordingly.
Police said these operations will run as a pilot programme from January 4 to 19, with the goal of raising awareness among drivers and the public.
During the first operation, officers will primarily focus on educating drivers, issuing warnings and instructing them to remove any unauthorised modifications from their vehicles.
Police said they expect these initiatives to continue beyond the pilot phase, with plans to enforce laws related to vehicle modifications and further monitor public transport buses through undercover officers.
