Upcountry Line Disrupted Again: Tree Falls Halt Trains

Train services on the Upcountry Line continue to face disruptions due to fallen trees caused by heavy rains and strong winds.

Railway Traffic Superintendent, M.J. Idipolage said that a fallen tree near Kadugannawa blocked the Podi Manike train traveling from Colombo to Badulla.

Similarly, the Udarata Manike train journeying from Badulla to Colombo encountered a stoppage due to a fallen tree in the Idalgashinna area.

As a precautionary measure, authorities have extended the cancellation of the two Colombo-Badulla night mail train services for another day.
