A train delay has occurred on the Batticaloa-Colombo route after six wild elephants were knocked by a train between Gal Oya and Minneriya.
Following the collision, the ‘Meenagaya’ intercity express train heading from Batticaloa to Colombo Fort derailed.
Consequently, the Pulathisi train scheduled at 1:15 am from Batticaloa to Colombo Fort has been canceled.
The Railway Operation and Control Center has stated that work is in progress to restore the derailed train to the tracks.
