This is how it looked after "අපේ දුම්රිය මඟ අපි පිරිසිදු කරමු" campaign. Do not put litter on the railway line. Let's make it a habit. #lka

Painful reality of the Eastern line that killed hundreds of elephants and many dozens of derailments.The line is undulating -not level. So the loco needs to keep speed in order to not stall. Thickets reach almost to the track- visibility impossible at distance.Pic credit- owners

Why? Restricting bidders will yield less money for these money-losing SOEs. Who pays the difference? https://t.co/CuHfBqybY0

Sri Lanka's cabinet has decided to restrict tenders for disposal of scrap metal by state railway and bus companies, to local bidders only, Minister Vijitha Herath said.

Clean the bush at least 20 m either side. Jungle has crept almost up to the line in many spots. Installing thermal image cams on board these few night time locos wont cost millions. A disaster like this will cost far more.
Another disaster 🚨 Oil train No. 6493 - with the load, from Colombo to Batticaloa, derailed near the Minneriya railway station after colliding with a herd of elephants - two died. As a result, train operations on the Eastern railway line have been disrupted. #lka #srilanka

This is happening too frequently, people will soon get used to it as the norm. Govt needs to figure out a way to fund #railway maintenance, gnoring this critical issue is not acceptable.
Colombo-bound Meenagaya ICE train derailed between Maradana and Fort railway stations. Expect delays. Photo credits: Neshara Madushan, Asanka Janaka #lka #srilanka #railway

This highlights issues such as education, responsibility, accountability, and the ignorance of bus workers, including conductors and drivers. The SLR should consider suing them separately for attempting to damage the tracks @slrail @SLRailwayForum
