Chairman of the Lanka Private Bus Owners Association Gemunu Wijerathne said the strike action launched by the bus workers on the Aluthgama Route will continue on Friday.

The Lanka Private Bus Owners Association launched the strike action based on an alleged assault launched at a group of private bus workers by a group of workers assigned to the Sri Lanka Transport Board.

Accordingly, private buses commencing their journeys from Aluthgama which includes buses operating on the Aluthgama – Colombo, Aluthgama – Matugama and Aluthgama – Kalutara routes refrained from being engaged in transport services since Thursday afternoon.
