As curfew has been imposed in the Western Province at the moment and following instructions from the Prime Minister's Office, trains reaching Colombo Fort from distant places, have been halted until further notice, the Railway General Manager (GMR) Dhammika Jayasundara said.

The Sri Lanka Railway Station Masters' Union (SLRSMU) said they are prepared to bring the trains which have already started their journey to Colombo by taking their occupational risk.

So far, a number of station masters and several stations have been attacked. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
