Addressing the weekly post-Cabinet media briefing yesterday, Cabinet Spokesman and Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa said the decision comes amid a surge in vehicle registrations following the lifting of import controls in 2025, which led to a sharp influx of new vehicles and exposed weaknesses in the existing system.
