Sri Lanka has repaired about 175 buses belonging to the state-run country’s Transport Board for reuse.
A statement issued from the President’s Media Division (PMD) said Tuesday.
The PMD said the buses had been taken out of service due to the lack of spare parts as a result of the country’s import restrictions.
