Sept 29, Colombo: The Motor Traffic Department of Sri Lanka is to introduce an online network system for the registration and transfer of vehicles.

Commissioner General of the Department, S.H. Harishchandra has told the local media that the online networking will be first introduced for the registration and transfer of motorbikes and the facility would later be introduced to cover other vehicles as well.

Once the new system is introduced, people could make their applications online and the process would be expedited.

Harischandra has said the new system will benefit both the Department and the general public.

The increase in the number of vehicles being registered daily has created a massive overcrowding of people at the Department.
