School money to renovate Elephant Pass station
View(s):Education Minister Bandula Gunawardena wants to renovate and re-name the Elephant Pass railway Station as Senahasaka Thotupola when train services between Kilinochchi and Jaffna are restored.
For this purpose, he wants to utilise Rs. 15.5 million collected from teachers and pupils countrywide. His proposal has been accepted and the ministry is now in consultation with the Sri Lanka Army to ascertain whether its engineering troops can undertake the construction of the railway station. The designs for the new railway station will be provided by the Ministry of Transport.
