The resumption of Train services from Colombo to Kankesanthurai is expected to bring relief to thousands of passengers who have been eagerly awaiting this moment. According to Maho-Omanthai Railway Project Director Asoka Munasinghe, train operations from Colombo to Kankesanthurai may recommence as early as the 15th of July.<br />''<br />''At present, trains on the northern line are only operating up to Anuradhapura due to ongoing renovation activities on the railway tracks. The renovation of the track from Anuradhapura to Vavuniya is scheduled to be completed by June, paving the way for the extension of train services further north.<br />''<br />''The upgradation of the Railway Line, along with various ancillary works, from Maho to Omanthai, is being carried out by IRCON, an Indian Public Sector company. This significant project is being funded through an existing line of credit, with a total cost of USD 91.27 million. The resumption of train operations on the Colombo-Kankesanthurai route will not only enhance connectivity but also contribute to the overall development of the Northern region. It is expected to facilitate easier travel for both commuters and tourists, boosting economic activities in the area.<br />''<br />''Passengers can look forward to a smoother and more comfortable journey once the renovation works are completed<br />
