Minister of Transport, Highways, Ports and Civil Aviation Bimal Rathnayake told Parliament on Friday that new vehicle number plates with advanced security features using modern technology would be issued by 15 November.
Minister Ratnayake said that a significant number of vehicles in the market were currently operating without number plates.
He said that the Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) had not progressed for about 10 years due to corruption and negligence in the political actions related to it.
The Minister said that a new driving licence would be introduced and action would be taken to address the issue of vehicles operating without number plates.
