No decision made to cancel old driving licences – Ministry Secretary

Transport and Highways Ministry Secretary Ranjith Rubasinghe clarified that reports claiming a decision has been made to cancel all un-updated driving licences are entirely false and that no such decision has been taken.

He also revealed that a new system will be introduced to update the information of nearly two million driving licence holders who have not yet updated their licences.

The entire update processes are expected to be completed by the end of this year. Transport and Highways Ministry Secretary Ranjith Rubasinghe, shared these remarks during a press conference at the Presidential Media Centre held yesterday.
