The Government banned full face helmets by gazette notification issued on 23rd of last month.
All Lanka Motorbike riders union said, requiring motor cyclists to wear protective head gear is not possible since that specific head protective gear would no longer be imported into the country as a result of the said gazette notification.
At a media briefing convened in Colombo yesterday the secretary to the all lanka motorbike riders’ union Chiranta amarasinghe said that this gazette notification should be cancelled.
