(UTV | COLOMBO) – The National Self-Employed Professionals’ Three-Wheeler Federation has lodged a complaint with the Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission against the Chairman of the National Election Commission.

Chairman Sunil Jayawardene said the people affected by the coronavirus, have been further burdened as a result of this decision.
He charged the Chairman of Commission of questioning the government over the need to issue the Rs.5,000 as the country is gradually returning to normalcy.

A decision was reached by the government to include three-wheeler drivers in the governments Rs.5,000 programme.
