Anura Kumara vows to strengthen public transport service under NPP govt

National People’s Power (NPP) presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake has stated that a relief package will be provided under a NPP government until the country’s economy stabilizes. 

He has made these remarks while addressing a rally held in Kottawa. 

“A large number of citizens in our country incur high expenses for transportation needs. Those who buy a car can buy a car. Those who buy a bike can buy a bike”, he said. 

However, he said the NPP government will mainly focus on strengthening the public transport service. “We will remove VAT on food through the very first budget proposal”, said Anura Kumara.
