Sri Lanka’s Police and Postal Departments have launched a joint project to simplify the process of paying fines for traffic offences for the convenience of the public.

It is reported that steps have been taken to operate 13 postal offices in the Western Province 24/7 to enable the public to pay their traffic fines even at night.

Accordingly, the postal offices in Slave Island, Havelock Town, Wellawatte, Borella, Kotahena, Battaramulla, Nugegoda, Dehiwala, Mount Lavinia, Moratuwa, Panadura, Kalutara, and Seethawakapura will operate around the clock for this purpose.

The Postal Department further said that the respective post offices will only accept fines outside working hours.
