Horse carts are back in several cities including Jaffna as a solution to the current fuel crisis.

Bullock carts have also been deemed as a solution by the people severely affected by the acute fuel shortage in Sri Lanka.

Horse carts and bullock carts were widely used for transportation several decades ago. However, they became a rare sight as more and more vehicles entered the roads.

According to government sources, Sri Lanka is yet to source fuel for the next three months and the country is facing a debilitating foreign exchange crisis.
