Hope the private busses too will not disappear as happened at the recently concluded Presidential elections. At the beginning EC will tell all sorts of things to satisfy the opposition. At the last moment, he will tell that it is beyond his control and he will not get back to his seat and so on.

Ok good EC had given assurances of using private buses. for what? Then what about free and fair election? will he give that too then change his mind due to pressure from power. Nobody can trust him. Even sangaya wahansela got scared and postponed their meeting of chapter on the pressure of some elements

A man of no principle. Who will beleive him. He said tthat there will be transport for the IDPs in Vanni, which didn't materialise when the govt. realised those people are with SF.
Shame on you Mr Dissanayake. You are a disgrace to Srilankans

Do you think they will allow private bus to move? . Instead of is it not better that to have poling stations in critical and vulnerable points like refugee camps , so that traveling is not need.?. What is the best? That is how my silly brain understand the problem and solution.
