Steps will be taken to print and issue the 130,000 accumulated driving license cards, delayed due to previous printing backlogs, within January.Â
Additionally, services within the institution will be streamlined and maintained through an online system, Transport, Highways, Ports and Civil Aviation Deputy Minister said.
Transport and Highways Deputy Minister Dr. Prasanna Kumara Gunasena and Ports and Aviation Deputy Minister Janitha Ruwan Kodithuwakku made these remarks during an emergency inspection tour of the Werahera premises of the Department of Motor Transport.
During the visit, the Ministers inspected the structure and functioning of the institution. They announced plans to transform it into a more efficient, service-oriented public institution by replacing the current technical methods with modern, more effective alternatives.
The Ministers emphasised that the new government’s policy is to achieve a historic transformation by the end of 2025. They highlighted their commitment to implementing the necessary measures to realise these aspirations. Rather than focusing solely on physical infrastructure development, such as constructing buildings, the government aims to prioritise human resources and skills development to enhance the efficiency of service delivery.
