The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Chaminda Wijesiri questioned the discrepancy between the written response on train services and reported operational problems across provinces. He cited curtailed services, broken engines, repair capacity gaps, delays and cancellations due to engine shortages, and asked how these realities are reconciled with the government’s answer.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you. My first supplementary: While the written answer looks satisfactory, in practice train services are curtailed in many provinces; engines are said to be broken; reports have shown repair capacity gaps. Timetables are not maintained, with frequent delays and cancellations, often citing engine shortages. How do you reconcile your answer with these on-the-ground realities?
