The resumption of the passenger ferry service between Nagapattinam in India and the Kankesanthurai region near Jaffna in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka has been delayed again for an indefinite period, Aviation Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva has said.

The passenger ferry service between Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu and Kankesanthurai (KKS) suburb of Jaffna district, which was to resume on May13, was delayed due to a "technical shortcoming", de Silva said on Wednesday.

It will never take place. The Southerners don’t like it. Thus the minister giving all lame excuses. Thus if the North East has to prosper there should be two states in one country. No doubt about it.

Having 2 states is not possible in such a small island. The easiest thing is to let the separatist move to India.

You are the typical Sri Lankan frog in the well idiot. Google countries smaller than Sri Lanka and see their status. Switzerland much smaller than SL has 27 states. Each with its own police force, powers etc in one Switzerland. Okay.

This will never work as long long as you are Minister sleepy head. Maybe they refused to give him the commission.

Unable to solve the technical matters because Srilanka Ports Authority employee were asked to do Badulla bridge works instead of Port work.

What can the Ranil-Rajapaksa government do, correct? Noting. Debt restructuring has not been completed yet; it's coming... still coming... never arrives. Similarly, this ferry is coming and coming but never arrives.

Go to a Basic Economics class. Then you might understand how it works.

Every thing happens for the good. We are not looking forward for amalgamation.

As expected. These two countries can't even run a ferry service properly.

I said it's never going to happen earlier post when it said delayed. I honestly don't know what is the reason but for the last 20 years this was the story. Very sad.
