Mr President, this is one of the other important issues unfortunately you have to tackle; non stop rail derailments. Previous governments didn't do a thing. Get rid of unionised corrupt railway staff. I know it is a lot for a 3 member Cabinet to handle right now, but after Nov 14, look at this.

True. Derailments in SL are now pretty much a common occurrence. Instead of the mega waste projects carried out by previous Govts, the number one priority should be to modernize our derelict railway system.

President will only talk, will not do anything against the Unions which are mainly affiliated with his party. Derailments are due to track damage caused by Indian heavy locomotives imported at the double the cost of German locomotives during Yahapalana government.

Too many derailments recently. Must investigate if there are saboteurs from the Railway workers or bankrupt politicians
