Considering the prevailing situation in the country, the Department of Railways has initiated a program to provide transport facilities for the employees who report for essential duties in the public and private sectors.
This scheme will be valid only for public and private sector employees who have obtained monthly or quarterly season tickets from both public and private sectors, said Deputy General Manager of Railways V. S. Polwattege.
Relevant tickets could be obtained by applying through the Heads of Institutions, he added.
However, passengers who are to receive the service should report to the station in advance, he further said.
