President meets Railway unions The Sri Lanka Railways may be re-structured and its management improved so that it may operate without loss and without being a drain on public funds, President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga told a meeting of Railways officials and trade union representatives at the 'Janadhipathi Mandiriya', yesterday. Representatives of a number of unions in the Railways Department attended the meeting to brief the President on the problems affecting the Railways, a communique from the Presidential Secretariat said. The President also pointed out that numerous developed countries such as Japan, France and the UK operated State-owned railway systems successfully. The union representatives apprised the President of the problems arising from the attempts to transform the Railways Department into an Authority without proper Cabinet approval. Western Province Governor Alavi Mowlana was also present. |
