The Court of Appeal has scheduled June 26 as the date to consider the petition seeking the revocation of MP Ramanathan Archuna’s parliamentary seat.

The petition was taken up today (May 14) before a bench comprising Justices Mayadunne Koraya and Mahen Gopallawa. 

The court ordered that the petition be called again on June 26 for confirmation.
The petition was filed by social activist Oshala Herath, requesting legal intervention regarding the MP’s parliamentary position.

Starting today (May 14), train services will operate as usual, according to the Locomotive Operating Engineers’ Union of Sri Lanka Railways.

Due to a shortage of train drivers and their leave requests, about 23 train services were canceled over the past 02 days, affecting key routes like the Main, Coastal, Puttalam, and Kelani Valley lines.

The Railway Drivers Association claims that the cancellation of trains is primarily due to the government and the administration’s failure to address the long-standing shortage of railway drivers.
