First implement the law, then call off it due to protest and finally discuss with the stakeholders

Sri Lanka government has decided to postpone the implementation of making the use of plastic crates compulsory in transporting vegetable by two weeks.

Earlier, the government stated that the persons transporting vegetables in ad-hoc wasteful ways would be brought to books since September 05.

However, the farmers protested the move and conducted a strike of bringing vegetable to Dambulla Economic Center as well.

Minister of Cooperatives and Internal Trade Johnston Fernando said that the Ministry would discuss with the stakeholders about the problem to identify the problems.

The farmers accuse that they were not consulted before taking this decision.

It seems the Sri Lanka government's methodology is first implement the law, then call off it due to protest and finally discuss with the stakeholders. Wonder of Asia!
