Megapolis and Western Development Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka has proposed an ambitious Light Rail Transport (LRT) project in the City. To be undertaken with assistance from JAICA (Japan International Co-operation Agency), it will cover highly populated City areas running through four divisional secretariat areas. They are Kaduwela, Kotte, Thimbirigasyaya and other Colombo Municipality areas.
JAICA is already funding a feasibility study of the LRT that will begin in February 2018. Land acquisition for the project is to be carried out in keeping with social safeguards laid down by JAICA.
Ishara Sewwandi, the main suspect wanted for the shooting inside the Aluthkade No.05 Magistrate’s Court premises which killed alleged underworld figure ’’Ganemulla Sanjeewa,’’ has been arrested in Nepal.
