Opposition MP Sujeewa Senasinghe has criticised the failure to complete repairs to the railway line to Kandy, claiming that he could complete the work within two months if given the responsibility.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday (13), Senasinghe said train services were currently operating only as far as Rambukkana, leaving passengers unable to travel to Kandy by train.
He questioned why authorities had failed to repair even a 20-metre stretch of railway track despite nearly a year having passed.
“Have you repaired the railway line to Kandy? I still cannot travel there by train. I checked even today, and trains are operating only up to Rambukkana,” he said.
“If you cannot repair a 20-metre stretch of railway track within a year, give me the job. I will get it done in two months and show you. I am not making sarcastic remarks. There is no point laughing at me if you cannot repair 20 metres of track within a year,” Senasinghe added.
