Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam urged the Government to expedite the proposed Mannar–Rameswaram ferry service, noting that India was willing to assist. He argued that this shorter route would be more viable than the KKS–Karaikal service and, together with the rail link, would support economic development in the Northern Province.

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Sir.
¶ 02 Sir, I raise a concern. The Hon. Adaikkalanathan raised the Mannar–Rameswaram ferry service. The Government of India is willing to assist. Please expedite this specific service. The distance Mannar–Rameswaram is short and viable, unlike the KKS–Karaikal service the Hon. Deputy Minister mentioned, which is too long and less practical. With the rail link, the Thalaimannar–Rameswaram ferry is crucial to uplift the Northern economy. Please expedite it so the Northern Province and its support ecosystem can benefit. Thank you.
