It is reported that a bus belonging to the Avissawella depot running between Avissawella and Negombo was attacked by a group of passengers when a mobile inspection team boarded the bus to investigate the issue of tickets in Wayangoda area.
When it was revealed that tickets had not been issued to a large number of passengers, most of the passengers refused to be checked, and due to that objection, when the inspection team was about to abandon the inspection and leave, a group of passengers on the bus attacked the inspectors under the direction of the conductor. It is also mentioned.
A senior officer of the Ceylon Traffic Board has stated that a complaint has been submitted to the Veyangoda Police Station regarding the incident.
