Public vent anger at VIP movements by honking their horns

20 May, 2019

The public in Colombo expressed their anger after being forced to stop for VIP movements by honking their vehicle horns.

Videos circulating on social media showed drivers honking their horns in at least two locations in Colombo.

During the war it was routine for roads to be closed for VIP movements.

However the routine changed after the current Government took office.

Following the Easter Sunday attacks some roads near VIP houses and offices have now been closed and roads are also closed for some VIP vehicle movements. (Colombo Gazette)
