Asked whether new railway level crossings can be established on the Vavuniya–Kilinochchi–Jaffna–Kankesanthurai line, noting that the existing crossings date from 1958 and that applications for additional crossings have not been acted upon. He specifically sought clarification on whether implementation could be done through a Gazette notification.

¶ 01 My second supplementary: From Vavuniya–Kilinochchi–Jaffna–Kankesanthurai, the level crossings are those established in 1958. Despite applications, no new crossings have been provided. Will this be implemented via Gazette notification, and is there an opportunity to do so?
