The recent identification of Vengaads Limited as the exporter of garbage to Sri Lanka has highlighted a troubling legal loophole. The shipment, declared as waste, passed through customs despite international bans on hazardous waste trade.

The incident has prompted calls for urgent legislation to close these gaps and protect the country from becoming a dumping ground. Authorities are now reviewing how the container was cleared and whether any laws were broken.
